This was the view as we approached Sedona from the south. Absolutely amazing.

We transitioned over a very busy PHX at 4,500. There were 6 in line for departure and they were rolling as soon as the previous one was just a mile or two upwind.
I have quite a bit more Class B experience than my friend, so he flew while I worked the radios. I don’t know how kosher that is for GA flying, but we worked very well together and our individual work loads were reduced.
