Landing at KFFZ (Mesa Falcon Field)

3 hours and 40 minutes after departure from Santa Paula, we were cleared to land on runway 4L at Mesa's Falcon Field airport (KFFZ). The approach was a little high and because of insufficient rudder and aileron input during the flare, the quartering headwind (360@8) pushed us slightly off center line while the nose was crabbed into the wind. It wasn't the prettiest landing but it concluded a memorable cross-country and we were glad to be in Arizona awaited by Brad, Zeb and Elmar.
