The San Juan Islands is an archipelago located in the Pacific Northwest and home to over 170 islands and natural reefs. These islands are incredibly beautiful with lush forests and sparkling waters that create a peaceful and serene environment for visitors to enjoy. As pilots we are fortunate enough to visit this area via air travel. With 3 airports to choose from, they are calling you to visit.

San Carlos Flight Center invites commercial pilot Brandan Dadoun to share more about flying to and operating within the San Juan Islands. In this seminar, Brandan will cover flight planning considerations, including local arrival and departure procedures, open water flying considerations, and inter-island sightseeing. He will also discuss the available facilities, services, and associated fees at these airports and talk about his recent flight to Orcas Island. He will conclude on the various activities and things to do once you are there to make your trip enjoyable.
