Day Trip to Holbrook, Arizona

Location - Holbrook, Arizona (airport P14)

Update 5/3/2024: 

This morning's forecast for Holbrook appears a bit better (wind-wise). Winslow (the closest reporting point) is forecasting winds at 7-10 mph at 8am increasing to 16-23 at 10am. With that in mind, I"m moving our planned arrival time up to 8:30am (rather than 9am). And, as always, please do a full preflight plan to ensure you're comfortable with weather, airport conditions, etc.

Lastly, PLEASE email me (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) to confirm you're planning to attend tomorrow so I can give the restaurant a final number. They'll have a table ready for us when we arrive.

See you tomorrow!

Holbrook, AZ is a sleepy little town near the Petrified Forest National Park. As the summertime heat creeps into Arizona, Holbrook offers cooler air given its 5,262 ft MSL elevation.  This will be a breakfast flight so that we can return to Phoenix hopefully before the afternoon heat kicks in.  Plan to arrive no later than 9:00am.

 

 

 2024 holbrook bienvenidos restaurantBreakfast will be at Bienvenidos Restaurant which is a short walk from the airport.  It’s one of the newer restaurants in Holbrook and a great addition for pilots looking for breakfast destinations.

2024 holbrook petrified logYou’ll know you’re at the right place when you see the large, petrified log in front of the restaurant. 

Self-serve fuel is available at the airport and often at attractive prices.  As with all unattended airports, be sure to check NOTAMS before the flight for any issues with fuel availability in case the pump is not functional.  Also, with the higher field elevation and warmer temperatures, be sure to address density altitude as part of your overall preflight planning.

 

 

 

Be sure to utilize the RSVP button if you plan to attend.  We use the RSVP list to send out any last-minute updates as well as letting the restaurant know how many people will be attending.
