May 4, 2024 -- Holbrook Municipal Airport (P14) -- 9:00am arrival time.
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.
Breakfast 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.
You’ll know that 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.

Safe flying,
