If it was a Bus, it might be on Bounce Night, the time when new Captains and FOs learn how to land a 100,000+ pound airplane with a joystick.

If it was a 737, it might be a -200 heading for retirement.

Do a search on a.net for the latest inventory. I tried to snap a pic of it the last time I was on the Arlin3, but it didn't turn out.

As for Pinal Airpark, I was on the SUNNS arrival a few months back and heard ABQ center talking to an Atlas 747 coming out of there from a C or D check. Had to keep them low and slow until they could find room to sneak them higher. Rumor has it that Evergreen pays $1.00 per year as a lease rate for that place.

You won't see anyone doing touch-n-goes at Slime Harbor in the middle of the night for the same reason we get departure delays when it's severe clear: Tempe and Snobbsdale residents complain about the noise. Out at Willy or Goodyear, there aren't as many people so no-one cares.
