| A popular destination for pilots, Yellowstone National Park is easily accessible by air and is surrounded by exciting scenery, towering mountains, and a plethora of famous landmarks. The Yellowstone area and the Northwest United States are full of diverse terrain and weather conditions that are probably different than what pilots are used to in California. From jagged peaks, glacier-carved valleys, and remote islands, FlyOutGroup’s 2021 flagship trip will expose pilots to this new environment, while promising adventure and memories of a lifetime.
Join Chief Pilot Herb Patten and private pilot Travis Bender as they introduce the 2021 FOG Yellowstone and the Pacific Northwest trip, and cover the planning procedures with making a flight within the region. They’ll preview the 2021 trip’s itinerary, route, and considerations, and provide insight from their experiences with flying in the region. Whether you are considering joining FOG on the Yellowstone trip or are just curious what it’s like to plan a major cross-country trip, you will enjoy this seminar. |
