The most impressive stop on the tour is
the 3,200-year-old fort at the precipice of the
island, Dún Aonghasa. Little is known about
those who built the fort, but it's in a strong
defensive position on the high ground and the
edge of a 300-foot cliff. From within its walls,
the views are spectacular. There's no railing
or barrier at the edge, giving the adventurous
a truly awesome sense of standing at the edge
of the world and those with a fear of heights
breathtaking anxiety.
Volanti Scottsdale
$100 hamburger for $100
BY ALICIA HERRON
Cable-knit sweaters were popularized by farmers and
fishermen on the Aran Islands, like those in this mural.
From there, the tour takes us along the leeward
coast of the island, home to a colony of
seals that sun themselves on the beach and
rock outcroppings at low tide. Then it's back to
Kilronan and the sweater markets that sell the
famous cable-knit wool sweaters that are said
to have originated here. Before returning to the
airport for the return flight, there's enough time
to stop back into the pub for a pint of Guinness
(complete with a clover in the foam).
We land back at Connemara and as we head
to our car, a van pulls up. Island residents get out
with bags of groceries, ready to board the next
flight. For us, it was a day of incredible adventure
and the chance to see Ireland from the air
(something few GA pilots get the opportunity to
do). For them, it was a normal run to the store.

PERCHED ON THE SECOND FLOOR of the
Scottsdale Airport business building,
Volanti is an airport café worth a visit
whether you fly or drive in. The airy,
modern dining space is all windows
and natural light. And most important,
it offers an unobstructed and elevated
view of the McDowell Mountains and
Scottsdale's runway, perfect for spotting
everything from flashy Cirrus SF50
Vision Jets to humble, reliable Cessna
150 commuters.
Featuring " world-inspired " cuisine
on its menu, Volanti also offers aircraft
catering and a full bar. The menu
focuses on freshness and made-fromscratch
house recipes, and you can taste
the difference. If you're feeling extravagant,
you can even get a true Hundred
Dollar Hamburger for, yep, $100. The
burger comes with caviar aioli, a split
of Veuve Cliquot, and frites.
Scottsdale has several FBOs if you
opt to fly in (check ramp fees first), and
free covered parking across the street
if you drive.

Budget can't handle the $100
hamburger? Lots of other options
available at this airport eatery.
