Air Force made Tucson my home for a couple of years. If you’re going to visit, there is some good golfing to check out.
Sonoran hot dogs are a local specialty street food. El Guero Canelo is a good choice of restaurants if you want to try one.
Eegee’s is a local fast food chain. Very community oriented and trains the handicapped. They started as a food truck trying to make Italian ice for the construction workers. They never got that figured out and it ends up being a cross between an Italian ice and a slurpee and is delicious.
The Pima Air and Space Museum is worth checking out if you are interested in military or aircraft at all. It can be an all day event. I believe you can buy a busride to drive through the Boneyard attached to Davis Monthan AFB. Where they keep planes to pick for parts.
The Sonoran Desert Museum is also interesting with tons to see about the desert. A huge living museum/zoo.
Tombstone is also not too far a drive. Main Street shootout is now a paid event. They have to make money anyway they can.
There is very stringent light pollution requirements because of the observatories nearby. Enjoy sitting outside looking at the stars at night.
Also, I always enjoyed driving up Mount Lemmon. You go from classic desert with Saguaro Cactus as you climb you see the flora change and get into tall pines. A beautiful drive.
