Where in the world is our pilot on May 2nd?

I will be off to fly the friendly skies beginning Friday, May 02, 2008.

My first flight of the day takes off at 1515 and lands at 1835 (central time). Can you tell me what time I takeoff and what time I land? How long is my flight?

I will be visiting two cities on my first day of flying. Below are some facts about each city and a hint of where they are located. I want YOU to tell me where I am!

City #1

-discovered in 1829 by Spanish explorers
-located in 1st state to legalize casino gambling
-Western Airlines was the 1st commercial airline flight to this city
-the Hoover Dam construction began in 1931 in Black Canyon
-located in the Pacific time zone

The second "leg" of my flight takes off at 2140 and lands at 2305. Can you tell what time I take off and what time I land? How long are we in the air?

City #2


-founded in 1706 by Spanish explorers
-located in the Chihuahuan Desert
-located along its states longest river, the Rio Grande
-hosts the worlds largest hot air balloon fiesta each October

Can you now tell me what states that I visited today? What part of the country am I in (North, South, East or West)?
