The September 2026 edition of Aviation Real Estate Magazine is live, and this issue takes readers straight into one of Arizona's most distinctive high country airpark markets: Prescott.
Inside this month's issue you'll find fresh listings, airpark market notes, and a look at why so many pilots keep circling back to Arizona skies when they're shopping for a fly-in property. Read the full digital edition here: Aviation Real Estate Digital Magazine, September 2026 (linked).
Cover Feature: A Grandfathered Airstrip Estate in Prescott, Arizona
This month's cover property sits on 14-plus acres just outside Prescott, Arizona, built around a rare grandfathered private runway that most buyers in this price range never get access to. We've already published the full walk-through — floor plan, runway specs, hangar details, and pricing — so rather than repeat it here, go read the complete listing story: Private Airstrip Property for Sale, Prescott, Arizona (linked).
What we want to unpack in this edition instead is the bigger question buyers keep asking us about Prescott and Arizona airparks in general: why does everyone say the flying here is just better?
Where Does Arizona Rank Among the Country's Clearest-Sky States?
Arizona logs roughly 193 clear days a year — at or near the top nationally — followed by New Mexico (~167) and Nevada (~158). Yuma averages ~242 clear days/year; Phoenix ~211.
What Federal Data Backs Up Arizona's "Clear Sky" Reputation?
The federal benchmark comes from NOAA NCEI's Comparative Climatic Data, defining "clear" as 0-3/10 average sky cover (linked).
