When are the best times for XC near Tucson? I grew up in Safford AZ, and I'd like to fly in that area.

The Tucson Soaring Club Operates all year and is located in Marana, Az.

The Best soaring in Tucson takes place around the May long weekend. Usually we have good soaring from May to October with the exception of the wet days during Monsoon Season. The Monsoons can bring great soaring, but they can also bring some isolated rough weather (Thunderstorms, downdrafts, and rarely hail).
