ArizonaAviation & Car Culture
Arizona flies nearly every day of the year. Clear desert skies made it a military training ground, a warbird haven, and home to the world's largest aircraft boneyard. The same dry air keeps classic cars rust-free, which is why the biggest collector car week in the country happens in Scottsdale.
