Welcome to the Lake Tahoe Experience! Lake Tahoe is a large freshwater lake in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, straddling the border of California and Nevada. We will be busting out our favorite general aviation props (cruise speed less than 150knots) and enjoying the beautiful lake views. Just be careful not to run into any of the mountain peaks all around!

Lets go to Fresno!

Fresno Anyone? Alright... lets go!
Kicking off this March 27th, we are opening the airspace to all that choose to dare as we head into Fresno!

Fresno you say what is this? Well come by and see its marvelous beauty in all she has to offer. Oh and we paired it up with Reno just to make it twice as fun. With that you can have that Reno/Fresno combo, it's an absolute delight.

We hope to see you there.

Details;
Airfields - KFAT (Fresno), KRNO (Reno Tahoe)
Date - 27th March 2020

A point of note, we will have coverage at SFO for those who choose the SFO - FAT route, although coverage will be limited at the local level for SFO due to staff. So expect minor delays over there. Thanks

Friday Night Flights FNO (ZOA/ZLA)

In world where, you are the captain… where frames are your enemy, weather dictates your flightpath and the flight levels are not the quiet oasis you once knew them to be.

Two, ARTCC’s stand together… united in their quest for the ultimate symphony of planes and controllers alike.

In their quest they will discover what it means to re-route an aircraft to its destination, and how ground delays will become their ultimate enemy.

Please join us, for the first time this decade, Oakland ARTCC and Los Angeles ARTCC combine their forces to tackle delays, intercept localizers and launch you off the 1s before an A380 lands on the 28s.

This momentous occasion is not one to miss, so be sure to book your calendars and have your preflight done.
