I did spin training and aerobatics at Chandler last year. Some
different from New Hampshire!

Given that you are learning at a municipal airport, you are gaining
great training in radio work and the like, but very little in what
its like to fly off the beaten path. Due south of Chandler theres a
dirt strip that is maintained I think by the University of Arizona. If
your instructor hasnt taken you down there, ask him if you can make
some landings there. The experience is entirely different and will
stand you in good stead later.

Have fun, keep em flying!
