December 21, 2025Fun approach for runway 8 over downtown. Grab the crew car and try South Coast Pizza 5 mins away. It was phenomenal!

May 3, 2025Wow! Not everyday you arrive at a lovely facility on an island at the footsteps of a major City, this is must if you're in the area and the people are super welcoming and helpful! Has a lot of GA traffic due to the flight schools there so be on your toes on a busy sunny clear day. Very much looking forward to returning!
