FlyOutGroup is excited to bring back lunch trips! This July, venture down the Salinas Valley to San Luis Obispo (SBP) and enjoy brunch or lunch at the Spirit of San Luis Restaurant. Known for their California-fare, their omelets, scrambles, and hamburgers sample local ingredients and are served alongside an excellent outdoor view of the airport ramp and runways.
On the flight down, travel down by Monterey Bay, the Salinas Valley, and then descend over the rolling hills south of the Paso Robles VOR. San Luis Obispo Airport also has a variety of instrument approach procedures, including an ILS, RNAV, and VOR approach. This is a great opportunity to fly down earlier in the morning and log a few approaches for currency or practice with a safety pilot or CFII, and then treat yourself to some great food afterward. On the return flight home, treat your passengers to a flight up the Central California Coast if you’d like, with gorgeous views of Big Sur, the coastline, Bixby Bridge, and more.
Please plan to arrive at the short-term transient parking a few minutes before noon, which is located on the northwest side of the control tower. Leave the ramp, and the restaurant is a two-minute walk to the north.
As this is the first FOG lunch in a while, this event will be popular, so please make sure to RSVP and book your plane early! We look forward to seeing you at the Spirit of San Luis!
Note: While we will be outside, please wear a mask if you are not fully vaccinated. FOG is excited to bring back group events, but let’s all do our part and keep everyone safe and healthy by masking up per-CDC requirements if you haven’t gotten your full COVID vaccination.
