SUMMARY:Full Moon Flyers: Nut Tree
DESCRIPTION:A unique destination\, Nut Tree Airport (VCB) in Vacaville is located right next to a major shopping and dining center. A former amusement park\, the Nut Tree area is now home to numerous dining options\, making it a great place to travel to and satisfy all kinds of appetites. \nOn September 20th\, let’s meet up at the Nut Tree airport and walk to the dining area. The flight is easy\, but picking a restaurant is the hard part\, with options ranging from BBQ to pizza\, ramen to vitamin bowls\, and sushi to Mexican food. Once you’ve secured the airplane at transient parking\, walk to the south side of the hangars to the west\, through the gate\, and then follow the pathway to the shopping and dining center. \nAfter your meal\, treat yourself to Fenton’s Ice Cream\, which is known for its one-of-a-kind creations and flavors\, and is a popular place for residents of Solano County. Grab ice cream for the walk back\, or enjoy dining on their patio. \nThe airport is lit at night\, and it’s easy to pick up flight following with Travis Approach. Need to work on your night landings? Concord\, Napa\, and Oakland are within a fifteen-minute flight away. \nLike other FOG events\, RSVP below\, and please indicate if you can take passengers to allow student pilots and other aviation community members to participate. Hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:FOG Lunch: Monterey
DESCRIPTION:Monterey (MRY) has a new airport restaurant! After the space was vacant for a few years\, the airport terminal finally has a new one – Woody’s at the Airport! On September 12\, enjoy lunch on the outdoor patio that overlooks the airline ramp\, allowing you to view take-offs and landings with your meal. \nThe flight down is an easy one from the Bay Area\, and an excellent choice to take passengers on a short flight if they have never been on a general aviation plane before. With views of the Santa Cruz Mountains\, Silicon Valley\, and Monterey Bay\, the flight down is one they won’t forget. Instrument pilots or students can also practice their skills with a variety of approaches to the airport. \nAfter landing\, park at Del Monte Aviation\, as Monterey does not have any transient parking near the terminal. From there\, it’s a short walk to the terminal. Woody’s is located upstairs from the entrance\, before the TSA checkpoints. Please plan to be at the restaurant around 12 PM. \nLike other FOG events\, RSVP below\, and please indicate if you can take passengers to allow student pilots and other aviation community members to participate. We’re looking forward to the event\, and hope you are\, too!

SUMMARY:Airport of the Month: Crescent City
DESCRIPTION:In the far northwest corner of California lies Crescent City\, a remote city in a desolate area. Served by Crescent City Airport (CEC)\, the airport has fuel and access to rental cars through the airline passenger terminal. Located far away from the major cities in California and Oregon\, this airport provides pilots with easy access to hidden beaches\, forests\, and a National Park. With wildfires and smoke blanketing the Sierra Mountains\, this is a great destination to fly to for some spectacular scenery and wilderness exploration. \nUpon parking in transient parking\, head over to the airline terminal\, where you can grab a rental car that you can reserve online prior to arriving. See some California Redwoods at Jedediah Smith State Park\, which is only a 17-minute drive from the airport\, and features a variety of hiking trails\, campgrounds\, and other activities. One can also drive south towards the Redwood National Park\, where some of the tallest trees in the world can be found. Continuing along Highway 101\, you’ll reach Patrick’s Point\, which boasts long beaches\, dramatic cliffs\, and seaside activities. \nThe area is known for coastal fog and cool temperatures\, so VFR pilots should carefully monitor the weather and carry enough fuel to divert if necessary. Instrument-rated pilots have a variety of instrument approaches to choose from\, including VOR\, ILS\, and GPS approaches. If you are working on your long instrument cross-country or building time for a new rating\, this is a great airport to test your instrument skills. September is a better time to visit due to less fog\, but pilots should always be monitoring the weather when operating around this area. \nIf you visit Crescent City\, please consider sharing a PIREP with FOG to let us know what you thought of the area!

SUMMARY:Full Moon Flyers: Harris Ranch
DESCRIPTION:A longtime favorite of pilots in California\, Harris Ranch (3O8) is known for its award-winning steak and hamburgers. Located just outside Coalinga\, the ranch features a hotel and multiple restaurants\, as well as an excellent lighted runway for pilots to fly in. On Sunday\, August 22\, let’s fly down to the Ranch to have dinner at their signature restaurant. \nThe flight down is varied as it takes you from the urban sprawl of the Bay Area\, across the Diablo Range\, and then an easy flight following the I-5 corridor. You’ll get a view of the ranch from the air before descending for the thin runway that sits just to the south of the restaurant. Upon landing\, we’ll walk to the restaurant together at 7 PM\, where we will enjoy a variety of freshly cut steaks and other dining options. Harris Ranch is regarded as one of the best restaurants for pilots to fly into in Northern California. The food truly is excellent. \nAfter dinner\, depart for a moonlit flight back to the Bay Area. The route is easy\, as you will follow the I-5 interstate until reaching Tracy\, and then from there\, it’s just a quick flight over the Altamont Pass into the Bay Area. If you need to reset your night currency or practice night landings for your next certificate\, Los Banos\, Tracy\, and Livermore airports all are excellent places to do so. \nLike other FOG events\, RSVP below\, and please indicate if you are able to take passengers\, so we can allow student pilots and other aviation community members to participate. We look forward to seeing you there!

SUMMARY:FOG Lunch: Watsonville
DESCRIPTION:Due to Car Week at Monterey and limited FBO space\, the FOG Lunch will be held at Watsonville instead of Monterey. \nCome join the FlyOutGroup (FOG) on Sunday\, August 8th with a scenic flight to Watsonville (WVI)! An easy location to get to from the Bay Area\, enjoy a scenic hop over the Santa Cruz Mountains\, and then descend over Monterey Bay. Park in Transient Parking\, and we’ll all meet at Ella’s At the Airport for lunch. \nElla’s at the Airport is a favorite for pilots of the Bay Area\, and is known for it’s ramp views\, outdoor seating\, and delicious food sourced from the Salinas Valley. We’ll plan to eat outside\, so we can watch the aircraft taxi in and out from the nearby parking area. \nWe’re excited for the event\, and look forward to seeing you in Watsonville!

SUMMARY:Airport of the Month: Boonville
DESCRIPTION:Nestled in Northern California\, to the northwest of Cloverdale\, lies a small town with restaurants\, wineries\, and local shops. Boonville is a hidden gem in the Anderson Valley and is known for its laid-back lifestyle and way of life. \nBoonville has a small airport (D83) in the western part of the town. The airport has a 2800-foot long runway and some parking areas but does not have any other services\, including fuel. Little River (LLR)\, Ukiah (UKI)\, and Cloverdale (O60) all have self-serve fuel and reside within a twenty-minute flight from Boonville. However\, walking north alongside Mountain View Road upon exiting the airport\, and then turning right\, you’ll find plenty of shops\, wine tasting rooms\, and restaurants. \nRestaurants include The Restaurant at the Boonville Hotel\, Mosswood Market\, and Lauren’s. All three of these are good choices\, but as the town is small\, please make sure to call ahead and reserve a table to ensure they’re open and have seating for your party. For non-pilots\, Maryetta Wines and Disco Ranch offer wine tastings\, as well as some dining options. Others may find joy walking around town and sampling the charming little shops. One of the shops\, Paysanne\, has excellent sweet treats to eat on the way back to the airport to round off your visit. If you would like to stay the night\, the Boonville Hotel is right in the downtown core. \nPlease remember to bring extra tie-downs or chocks if you’re stopping by. The airport also does not have any instrument approaches\, so please plan ahead and watch the weather. \nIf you go to Boonville\, please let FOG know what you think with a PIREP! We would love to know how your visit was\, what eateries you would recommend\, and any other information the flying community should know. We’ll share the feedback in one of our monthly newsletters.

SUMMARY:5-Day FOG Yellowstone and the Pacific Northwest
DESCRIPTION:The 2021 trip is full! Please email Travis at travis@sancarlosflight.com to be placed on the waitlist. If you are an aircraft owner and have your own instructor\, and would like to go\, please email Travis. \nThe FlyOutGroup flagship trip for 2021 takes pilots around the Northwest United States to experience both mountain and island flying on the same trip\, while also allowing you to view one of the country’s most beautiful National Parks from the ground – Yellowstone. This five-day trip immerses you in the wonders of the American Pacific Northwest\, giving you the chance to see beautiful sights and view multiple National Parks from both the air and the ground. You’ll fly over mountainous terrain\, and fly into a variety of challenging airports and environments. If you are seeking an educational way to build flight time\, learn firsthand about mountain flying\, or venture to new places\, the 5-Day FOG Yellowstone and Pacific Northwest trip has something for all pilots. \nDay 1: \nToday is a cross-country flying day. Early on in the flight we cross the Sierra Nevada Mountains\, where you can view the spectacular Lake Tahoe outside your window. These mountains will be the first of many you will encounter on the five-day trip. The flight continues across the Nevada Desert and crosses southern Idaho before the 12\,000’ Rocky Mountains come into view as you descend into West Yellowstone Airport (WYS). See how the airplane behaves differently when landing at a high elevation airport as compared to its sea-level counterpart. This evening\, enjoy dinner at the gateway to Yellowstone National Park and prepare for an adventurous day tomorrow. \n  \nDay 2: \nSome pilots venture into Yellowstone National Park by road to view the sights\, while others elect to get an early start on some more mountain flying. Flying the mountain passes outside of Yellowstone affords us good opportunities to experience climbing in hot and high environments\, as well as proper navigation procedures as one finds their way around the terrain. In Yellowstone National Park\, enjoy waiting for geysers to erupt\, take a walk among wild buffalo\, and admire the beauty of the natural springs with their colorful mineral water. Visiting in early summer allows FOG to beat the crowds and view the park during its blooming wildflower season. \nDay 3: \nHeading north towards Montana\, experience navigating through varied and rough terrain\, high-altitude flying\, and landing at remote airports in locations that would be hard to access by land. Experience how to use oxygen\, and see how it helps you perform better and keeps you alert. You will also land in small mountain airports\, in order to view the Cessna 182’s performance in a hot and high environment. After a quick break\, continue honing your skills as you fly across the Cascade Mountains into Seattle’s Boeing Field (BFI)\, where we will spend the next two nights. The long daylight hours mean you can capitalize on the afternoon and evening light to take in the beauty of this amazing city. Enjoy walking along the shores of Lake Union\, sampling seafood\, or viewing the Seattle Space Needle. \nDay 4: \nIsland flying in Washington’s San Juan Islands offers pilots a change of scenery and new vistas. Use this day to explore the various islands and peninsulas in the region\, all of which have unique airports and different characteristics. Upon departing Boeing Field\, we’ll fly a Harbor Tour to take in the Seattle skyline before charting our own route to the places we want to explore.  Stop for a bite to eat at one of the many restaurants on the islands\, or pack a picnic lunch to enjoy on the ramp. Enjoy a relaxing evening back in Seattle by taking in the nearby Museum of Flight\, where you can view Boeing’s first aircraft\, the Concorde\, and get up close with a 747. The remainder of the day is yours to enjoy! \nDay 5: \nDepart for the trip back down to the Bay Area. Either fly down via the inland route\, taking in Crater Lake\, Mt. Shasta\, and the Siskiyou Mountains\, or fly down the coast to explore the rugged Oregon coast and California’s Coast Range. Arriving into the Bay Area from the North allows you to see an awesome view of the skyline\, Golden Gate Bridge\, and the Pacific Ocean\, capping off an incredible\, 2\,000-mile trip. \n  \n  \nFrequently Asked Questions: \nWhat aircraft are we using? Can I bring my own? \nWe plan on using San Carlos Flight Center’s fleet of aircraft for this trip. Pilots with their own aircraft are welcome to join us and will be paired with one of our CFIs with experience in that type. \nHow much flight time will I log? \nThe trip may involve 20-25 hours of flying. Your time at the controls means you may be able to log around 10-12 hours of flying. \nWhat is the estimated cost of the trip? \nThe breakdown of the estimated cost is below:\n– 10-12 hours in a Cessna 182: $2\,500 – $3\,000 (varies with flight time and aircraft)\n– CFI: $1\,500\n– Hotel and Meals: $500\n– Rental Car: $100 \nWhy should I participate? \nThis an opportunity to experience true cross-country flying\, with valuable mountain training experience. Pilots going on the trip can expect to gain experience with high-performance aircraft\, electronic flight decks\, mountain flying\, cross-country planning\, high-altitude considerations\, and flying distances over water. It also is a great way for pilots to build time for their instrument training or commercial certificates. If you own your own aircraft\, you’ll learn how to maximize its performance and get comfortable flying it into new environments. \nDo I need an instructor for this trip? \nYes. Due to the rugged terrain and numerous variables of this trip\, pilots participating in the Pacific Northwest Adventure are required to have a CFI on board. Pilots with their own aircraft should talk to us about their background and experience with the aircraft to determine a good fit for your CFI. \nCan I take a passenger on this trip? Who will I be splitting time with? \nYou will be paired with another pilot on the trip. It will afford you an opportunity to relax in the backseat and observe the pilot flying. If you are interested in flying the entire trip\, please contact us. \nIf you would like to bring a non-flying passenger on the trip\, we can arrange that\, although you will be responsible for flying the entire trip. \nHotel Accommodation\, Rental Cars\, and Food: \nWe provide hotel accommodation details as we get closer to the date. Rental car fees are split among the group\, although if you’d like a rental car for your own use on any of the days\, you are welcome to book your own. As for food\, we will all eat together at restaurants\, but pilots will be responsible for their own bills. \nOther Requirements: \nA $500 deposit is required to secure your spot on this trip. The $500 deposit will be deducted from the aircraft time and instructor rate at the end of the trip. \nParticipants on this trip will be required to attend San Carlos Flight Center’s free Mountain Flying Safety Seminar at 12:00 PM on June 12th\, which will be available to stream live online. The seminar will cover the required ground knowledge and will serve as the foundation for many of the concepts introduced during the flight. If you are unable to participate in the seminar\, please contact us to arrange a meeting with your CFI before departure.

SUMMARY:Airport of the Month: Lampson
DESCRIPTION:This July\, see beautiful Clear Lake from the air with a flight to Lampson Field (1O2)! Lampson is located just south of Lakeport\, and views of the lake can be seen from downwind while in the pattern. The airport is relatively quiet and is a great place to practice landings after a cross-country flight. \nAt the airport\, enjoy lunch or dinner with fresh\, local ingredients from Red’s at the Skyroom. This new restaurant features West Coast-fare with a variety of entrees and drinks for you and your passengers. With patio seating\, this is a great place to replenish after a training flight or as a break on a long cross-country trip to the north. After your meal\, venture around the ramp area to see a collection of vintage aircraft from a variety of eras. \nThe airport also has an RNAV approach if you want to practice your instrument skills\, and features 100LL fuel at a self-serve pump. Pilots flying out of this airport should consider density altitude due to the increased elevation and habitually high temperatures seen in the summer months. \nIf you visit Lampson and Red’s at the Skyroom\, please let us know how it is!

SUMMARY:Airport of the Month: Santa Maria
DESCRIPTION:June’s Airport of the Month is Santa Maria (SMX)\, which is a convenient stop on the way to the LA Basin. This busy Class Delta airport has multiple runways\, scheduled airline services\, and even a hotel that you can taxi up to! For students and pilots working on a long cross-country trip\, the flight down is gorgeous\, as one follows the coast or Salinas Valley to Santa Maria. For those without a GPS\, the local Guadalupe VOR sits a few miles west of the field. \nWith Central Coast Air Center providing full FBO services\, this is a great place to refuel and rest before continuing your journey. Pilots can take advantage of the Santa Maria Museum of Flight\, which houses unique aircraft and is open Friday through Sunday. The region is also popular with wine tastings\, and the airport hotel is located on the field\, allowing for an easy departure the next morning after a weekend of vineyard excursions. \nSanta Maria is a great airport to practice instrument approaches\, with an ILS\, VOR\, GPS\, and a back-course localizer approach. The coastal fog is often present in the morning throughout summer\, so instrument-rated pilots hoping to stay current will enjoy the low layer to hone their skills. \nIf you fly to Santa Maria this month\, let FOG know how it is! Please email flyoutgroup@gmail.com with any PIREPs and insights.

SUMMARY:FOG Lunch: Merced
DESCRIPTION:Summer’s here\, and to celebrate\, treat yourself to a cross-country flight to grab some BBQ at the Merced Airport (MCE). Located just west of Merced\, the airport has an almost 6000-foot runway with multiple instrument approaches\, as well as a full-service FBO. This is a great opportunity to get a cross-country flight in while also knocking out some approaches for your IFR currency. \nHangar BBQ is located on the east side of the field near the terminal building. They serve BBQ-style dishes and are known for their delicious Tri-Tip that is cooked in their smoker that day. They also have other California/BBQ fusion\, such as burgers and tacos. Their outdoor seating is great at lunchtime\, and they have heaters for cooler nights on their patio. This is a nice venue to enjoy some great food while staying safe. \nAs always\, please confirm with Hangar BBQ that they are open for dining with the current COVID-19 restrictions. You are welcome to fly in with other pilots\, but FOG is holding off on large group gatherings for this month in order to comply with the state and county health guidelines. \nTo learn more about Hangar BBQ\, please click here.

SUMMARY:California Volcano Hunting
DESCRIPTION:When people think of volcanoes in the United States\, most people think of places like Hawaii or the Pacific Northwest. However\, did you know that California has a few volcanoes scattered across the state? \nWith towering peaks\, the formidable Mt. Shasta and Mt. Lassen both lie at the northern tip of the state and are viewable from hundreds of miles away. These volcanoes are easily viewed from both the air or you can fly to Weed Airport (O46) or Rogers Field (O05) to see Mt. Shasta and Mt. Lassen from the ground\, respectively. \nCalifornia also has a handful of other volcanic sites in the northern\, eastern\, and southern parts of the state. While not as tall and imposing as the volcanoes listed above\, some do pose a threat and have erupted in the last few thousand years. They are also in some very beautiful areas of the state\, so plan a flight and revel in the scenic sights below. \nYour mission for June is to fly to one or multiple of any volcanic sites and get a picture of them. If you would like\, please share them with FOG at flyoutgroup@gmail.com and we’ll showcase the best images in our July newsletter. To get started volcano hunting\, a good starting point is a description of volcanic hot spots from the USGS\, which is available here.

SUMMARY:FOG Lunch: Auburn
DESCRIPTION:Located at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains\, Auburn Airport (AUN) displays a change of scenery from its Central Valley counterparts\, with rolling hills and beautiful pine trees lining the field. Take advantage of the warming temperatures this May to visit this airport and sample the delicious cafe serving both breakfast and lunch during the outdoor dining season. Wings Grill and Espresso Bar is located right next to transient parking on the south side of the ramp and serves pilots both breakfast and lunch between 8 AM and 2 PM Wednesdays through Sundays. \nWhile not considered a mountain airport\, pilots should watch the temperatures when operating at Auburn to ensure the density altitude does not affect your flight. This is also a great opportunity to safely support a small business while taking your family and friends for a flight. Due to COVID-19 restrictions\, please enjoy this event on your own or with members of your household. While FOG pilots can not gather in a large group setting just yet\, we are bringing back FOG lunches for pilots to complete on their own.

SUMMARY:Airport of the Month: Garberville
DESCRIPTION:One of the more remote airports in the state\, Garberville Airport (O16) is known for the steep terrain on all sides of the field\, making it a challenge to plan a proper descent from pattern altitude to the runway. Pilots should plan on circling over Garberville as part of their descent\, taking note of the terrain and wind conditions as they fly towards pattern altitude. Keeping the pattern tight is required due to the mountains to the east of the airport\, and pilots should be mindful of the hill on the approach end of Runway 18\, which obstructs a normal approach. While landing on Runway 36 looks easier\, be on the lookout for the mountains to the south\, which you need to avoid as you turn back towards the runway. Following the river is a good option\, as it will keep you away from high terrain. Regardless of which runway you use\, make sure you know how to fly a short approach and use your flaps effectively to get down safely. \nGarberville has fuel at the airport\, and it is a great place to practice clearing obstacles in the airport environment. The flight into the airport is beautiful\, as the surrounding trees and coast help serve as an impressive backdrop to the region. Choose to fly up either via Highway 101\, where you view wineries\, forests\, and valleys\, or the coast\, which features incredible cliffs and shoreline. No matter how you get to Garberville\, spend some time practicing mountain approaches before having a picnic lunch on the grass near the airport while taking in the mountain air.

SUMMARY:May The Fourth Be With You: Skywalker Ranch Fly By
DESCRIPTION:Did you know Skywalker Ranch is located in Marin County at 5858 Lucas Valley Road? And\, since we are pilots\, we can fly over it. So if you want to have some fun and take a scenic flight up the coast\, check out Skywalker Ranch in May. \nThe principal operation of the facility is as a motion picture sound mixing and recording facility\, as well as serving as the corporate offices of Lucasfilm. Other Lucasfilm properties provide animation and visual effects; Skywalker handles sound\, music\, and allied services. \nAssembled parcel by parcel since September 1978\, Skywalker Ranch has cost Lucas up to US$100 million.  Lucasfilm acquired 3\,000 acres of adjoining land for a total of over 4\,700 acres. Only 15 acres have been developed. \nThe Ranch contains a barn with animals\, vineyards\, a garden with fruits and vegetables used in the on-site restaurant\, an outdoor swimming pool and fitness center with racquetball courts\, the man-made “Ewok Lake”\, a hilltop observatory\, a 300-seat theater called “The Stag” as well as theater screening rooms\, and parking that is mostly concealed underground to preserve the natural landscape. \nHave fun seeing the ranch from the air and may the force be with you.

SUMMARY:Overfly Yosemite National Park
DESCRIPTION:Yosemite National Park is one of America’s greatest treasures\, with stunning glacier-carved cliffs\, giant trees\, and towering mountain peaks. Many of us have experienced this majestic place from the ground\, but not many people have seen the park from the air. While one cannot land in Yosemite Valley (the closest airport is Mariposa on the western side and Lee Vining on the eastern side)\, pilots are allowed to overfly the park and soak in the views from above. \nThis month’s challenge is to capture the best photo of the grandeur of Yosemite from the sky. Please note that flying in Yosemite Valley is prohibited\, as is flying below 2000’ AGL\, as the park is protected by a wilderness area. Per our member regulation\, SCFC pilots may need a mountain checkout to cover much of Yosemite’s area\, although the Valley and western part of the park can be viewed from over the foothills near Mariposa and Pine Mountain Lake. \nThis is a great opportunity to bring family or friends who enjoy photography\, as the views will be incredible. If you take photos from above\, please submit them to FOG\, and we’ll share them with the greater flying community!

SUMMARY:Airport of the Month: Kern Valley
DESCRIPTION:This month\, venture into the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas to Kern Valley Airport (L05)\, which resides near Lake Isabella\, 2600 feet above the city of Bakersfield. Kern Valley is surrounded by mountain peaks on all sides\, so make sure you examine the surrounding terrain before departure and plan a safe descent from cruising altitude to the pattern. Flying in the spring allows us to view Lake Isabella at its fullest capacity\, and the mountain peaks may still be covered in snow. Combined with the green grass from winter storms\, this airport is a spectacular place for a cross-country flight. \nThe field also has a restaurant on-site next to the tie-down area\, but there’s no fuel. Pilots who need fuel should plan accordingly and refuel at one of the many airports in the Central Valley either en route to or coming back from Kern Valley. While not an easy airport to fly into\, Kern Valley promises to be an airport that will leave you breathless as you descend through the foothills with the peaks of the Sierra Nevadas as your backdrop. \n  \n

SUMMARY:IFR New (No) MOON Flyers
DESCRIPTION:New this year for IFR pilots\, New (No) Moon Flyers.  The night does not get any darker and the terrain disappears. \nThis month\, the official New Moon is March 13th and if you are IFR current and proficient\, lets fly to Castle (KMER) and back sometime from March 11 through March 16th. . The valley is peaceful\, the air is usually calm and the runway long.  While single pilot IFR is legal\, these night flights are the real deal and having a second IFR pilot in the cockpit is always a good idea.  This is the time to really use the PAVE mnemonic before the flight. \nBe safe up there.

SUMMARY:Airport of the Month:  Marina Municipal Airport (KOAR)
DESCRIPTION:An airport under the Monterey Charlie Airspace and near the beach\, the Marina Municipal Airport is the newest general aviation airport on the Monterey Peninsula. It consists of approximately 845.5 acres of property. It has been open for public use since 1995 and is dynamic and growing.  This is a great place to practice flying VFR into an airport under the Charlie and for you IFR pilots\, the RNAV (GPS) 29 approach.  Looks easy\, but you will be surprise how fast it goes.  AND BEST OF ALL\, IT’S NEAR THE BEACH! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet those walking shoes out and get some exercise by walking to the Marina State Beach.

SUMMARY:Full Moon Flyers Modesto
DESCRIPTION:COVID is at the peak but we can still maintain our night currency by flying to Modesto (KMOD) during February’s full moon on the 27th. The central valley is beautiful at night and the folks at Modesto friendly. Also it’s a great training place for IFR pilots as well as VFR training for the monthly breakfast outings when they return. Because of COVID-19\, there will be no gathering or meeting up. : ( \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Top Shelf
DESCRIPTION:“Why top shelf? Because that’s where mama keeps the cookie jar.” \nMany of us GA pilots who have been flying the Bay Area for years have flown through or under the SFO Bravo but have never flown over it. During the month of February\, fly over the San Francisco Class Bravo and submit your favorite photo of the Bay Area from this altitude. At this altitude\, you can see the entire Bay Area\, and even into the Central Valley and beyond. See how many airline flights you can spot descending or departing the area\, too.  The unique angle is sure to provide a different perspective on the Bay Area\, and you can see how small the region is compared to other cities around the globe. We’ll post these “satellite photos” for all to enjoy.

SUMMARY:Airport of the Month\, Paso Robles  KPRB
DESCRIPTION:Located just north of LA Center’s Airspace is Paso Robles Municipal Airport\, a busy non towered airport and convenient fuel station with the Paso Robles VOR on site. If you fly to the LA Basin\, you will want to become familiar with it. \nThe Paso Robles Municipal Airport is a 1300-acre site approximately four miles northeast of downtown Paso Robles. Originally constructed in 1943 as the Estrella Army Air Field\, the airport plays its own part in the history of aviation in the local area. It saw little military activity during the War\, but its advent paved the way for the future of aviation in this area. Sherwood Field\, located a few miles to the south\, probably plays a more colorful role in the beginnings of aviation in the north county. The Estrella Field was transferred to the City of Paso Robles in 1973 and industrial and general aviation development has seen continued growth since that time. \nAlso Located next to the Paso Robles Airport at the end of RWY 31\, is the  Estrella Warbirds Museum which has long been one of the fastest growing non-profit museums in Central California. It is home to a vast collection of military artifacts\, aircraft\, vehicles and memorabilia. They are proud to be home of the incredible Woodland Automobile Display. \n  \n

SUMMARY:New Airport of the Month – KPTV
DESCRIPTION:2021 brings in a new year and FOG would like to explore a new airport every month.  If you have been to our choice\, investigate another and fill us in. \nThis month\, Porterville Municipal Airport (KPTV) is our choice.  The airport was opened in September 1942 as Porterville Army Airfield and was used by the United States Army Air Forces Fourth Air Force as a training base during World War II. Located between Fresno and Bakersfield\, it’s a great place to stop and refuel on a flight between the Bay Area and the Southwest. The proximity to the Sierra Nevada mountains is also a sight to see\, as descending to Porterville from altitude affords pilots a great view of the mountains on a clear day. For instrument pilots or students\, Porterville has a handful of approaches to practice\, as well. \nIt’s an easy place to land and fuel and the gas is inexpensive.  Check it out and let us know your thoughts.  We think you’ll use it in the future. \n

SUMMARY:IFR Pilots Assemble
DESCRIPTION:IFR Pilots assemble!  Your mission is to fly down to Southern California anytime this month and complete at least ONE Tower Enroute Control (TEC) Route of your choice.  While TEC routes are prevalent on the East Coast\, there is a handful of them in Southern California. The large-number of major airports scattered close to each other along the Pacific Coast presents a unique opportunity to fly under TEC. Instead of viewing LA from a high-altitude\, try a TEC route the next time you’re traversing the area. The views will be better\, and you won’t have to worry about airspace while under instrument flight rules. \nTake a screenshot of the FlightAware tracking and send it to flyoutgroup@gmail.com  Let’s see how many TEC routes we can do as a group.
