The densest collection of flight schools in America
Phoenix-Mesa Gateway alone hosts 40+ aviation tenants — ATP, AeroGuard, UND Aerospace, and more. Deer Valley is the busiest GA airport in the world (402,444 ops in 2020). Chandler runs 200,000+ ops a year, almost entirely flight training. Fly the three in a day and you've seen more student traffic than most pilots see in a career.
