The name of the topic might sound really unusual, but if anyone has some good canyon locations to practice my fighter jet skills in, that would be great, so nothing too big of a topic, just if anyone has ideas, that would be pretty good ;)

Le Grande Canyon? 😊

Grand Canyon of course 😉
You can weave in mountains with your jet which is good. I suggest flying around Patagonia and the Himalayas dodging them all.

A daredevil for some fighter jet flying is mountainous terrain, such as the Alps around Switzerland, the Himalayas in Nepal, and not as high but more beautiful, the Canadian Rockies in British Columbia. PAJN is a great place for this terrain.

It’s also fun around KASE and KEGE, you have a lot of choices.

Yeah that’s what I was mainly thinking about before I posted this topic, challenging areas in rugged terrain
Definitely. I practice my fighter jet maneuverability in any mountains range.

I sure do, and I’m going to try all of this straight after 😂
Rainbow Canyon (Aka Star Wars canyon!) Its the coolest place for some low level flying.
Here’s an awesome video about it:

This is gonna potentially clog up the thread this question, but does anyone know what airport is closest to the east/north side of the Canyon?

I’ve heard a lot of people talk about that, actually! I wasn’t sure if it was the best though, so I posted this topic anyways ;)
AZ40 and KGCN are your best bets. You can easily get to the ends.

KGCN is brilliant, especially is you take off from runway 3!
You could always start at KRIL and weave your way, east, through the rocky mountains and the Glenwood Canyon. Once you get out of there you can keep going east towards Vail Pass of you can cut south and wind through the mountains of Aspen and Leadville.
