I used to fly into IYK every morning and back every afternoon in a PA-32 Lance back in my early cargo rat days. Afternoons into IYK were pure white-knuckle a lot of days - wind SCREAMING across the desert (plenty of 30+ knot crosswind component days), turbulence, etc. Fun days... And it'd get hotter than hades too. Nothing like wrestling the airplane all the way down to the ground in triple-digit heat only to land and have it be 115+ on the tarmac (yes, really).
I miss those days though. Sick and masochistic I know, but I do miss them in a weird way.
