This popped up in my FB feed. Its old but its the first time I've seen it. I did some searching but I didn't find a thread on it here.

Sorry you had that experience while here Salty and sorry my shifts didn't coincide for a meet up. Casa Grande is a weird airport to fly into. The wind favors 23 yet you have a stack of students making ILS approaches to 5. I've rolled out on 23 to see another airplane short final to 5. It's a stupid way to fly, therefore I don't fly there. Its a shame because the gas prices are lower there than at Tucson.

Just a few miles to the NW is AkChin (A39). Usually cheaper fuel and no practice approaches off the Stanfield stack. KCGZ has really become a zoo lately.

Been to AkChin several times and have enjoyed the new AWOS and the cheap gas. However, one must plan to go there when the wind is from the Southeast, that dairy nearby can get pretty ripe.

Reminds me of home in the midwest!
