Yikes! I have heard that Mojave can be a real trick to fly in and out of. I was once down at the airport in Ocotillo Wells, out in the desert near Palm Desert. The heat gets so bad there, the Cessnas have a tough time sticking their landings. Fun to watch the rookies trying to get them down. Not that I would want to try it!

Pull power back about a mile away, and hope the thermals die down before you turn final!

We were flying around over here in Germany in a Blackhawk about 2 years ago when the turbulence got so bad and the pilot on the controls tried to fight it so much that the blades started vibrating past the limits to the point that they were litterally shaking the aircraft apart and we had to make a precautionary landing and wait for maintenance crews and TI's to inspect the aircraft just so we could fly home. It was to me probably the most scariest moment that I have flown in.
