Where to train ICT or TUS (Lear)?

[CorpLearDriver]

Look forward to meeting you when you're down here. I am an intern at the TUS center, currently doing my 31a initial. Any specific questions, please let me know...if I dont know, I can probably find out. Yes, it is pretty hot right now, but, as they say, its a dry heat!

Wait until about mid-July. Then it won't be so dry for the next two months. But it is still gonna be dryer than Florida.

If ICT Lear is the same as ICT Citation school, you won't have to worry about any distractions........ICT is very conducive to training.......you can study meditation there if you want.

I'll definitely check out that museum if I have some time off, any other reccommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,

You definitely won't have time to do all of this stuff unless you stay for several extra days, but it's something to keep in mind.
Much of the stuff below is all outdoor activities but they are worth it. Take a backpack with some water. Nothing is an all day tour, each is what you make of it. All of it is very cool, especially the outdoors activities.

PIMA Air Museum (as previously mentioned): It's an all day activity, be sure to take the boneyard tour.

Tucson Mountain Park: A huge sonoran desert natural preserve. It contains some amazing hiking as well as some neat areas that you can scramble up the rocks and get a spectacular view of the park and sonoran desert. There are tons of Saguaro catcti out here...incredible...especially when they are in bloom...which they won't be if you go in July.

Saguaro National Park: Located by driving through some of the above park, this place is phenomenal. Definitely worth your time...even if it is just to visit the visitor center and take a short walk on one of the loop trails (again, take water...and a camera!).

Mt. Lemmon: Talk about a place of contrasts. You can leave the desert floor and drive 25 miles while climbing 6000' above Tuscon...the temp drops 20-30 degrees and the environment is completely different. Coniferous forests as well as a large number of aspen trees populate this beautiful mountain. Even the drive is incredible. Mt. Lemmon is located in Coronado National Forest. You would think that you were in the mountains of Colorado, not southern Arizona. Mt. Lemmon also has a ski area if you are there in the winter...not a bad place to stop and look around in the summer either.

Tucson is one of my favorite destinations. The more I go there the more I love the place, probably because of the numerous outdoor activities that can be had within a close distance.

The drive to the parks is only about 10-15 minutes from nearby the airport.
The drive to Mt. Lemmon was closer to 45 minutes, but you slow down once you get into the mountains and the speed drops...but the temperature drop sure feels good so roll the windows down and shut off the a/c!!

If you go, enjoy it...and seriously consider taking some vacation time at the end of school and stay for 3-4 days, fly your significant other or a friend in enjoy it with you. Tucson is a great place!

Thanks dude, great post! Well I called there yesterday and they told me they have a slot open, but my sim times start at 2am I still might go, after some of my other FSI experiences I know that is, of course, subject to change.

I think my CP may have flown with you while he was there, sounds like we'll need to go out for a cold one when it's all said and done
