We decided to move from Hawaii to Denver back in 2006; a move that is still questioned by all of our friends. We don't regret it though. Colorado is a great place to live (and fly). The visability is insanely good almost all the time, the mountains are incredible and the aviation community is a thriving one. After all, it's the home of several great aerospace companies, a high percentage of astronauts and the US Air Force Academy. The one thing I learned the hard way, was that the performance of a Cessna Skyhawk at high altitude on a hot day is nothing like it was in Hawaii. I guess I just need to upgrade from the spam can!
