Come fly out with ZOA at our TRACON Tuesday for the month of February, Monterey Madness!! Monterey, California, is a premier flying destination for pilots, offering a diverse range of experiences set against the backdrop of stunning coastal and mountainous landscapes. The region’s primary hub, Monterey Peninsula Airport (MRY), provides smooth approaches and easy access to the picturesque Monterey Bay. From here, pilots can enjoy scenic flights along the coast or head inland to explore the rolling hills and valleys. With its controlled airspace and favorable weather, MRY is a perfect base for both casual and cross-country flights.

Just to the east, Salinas Municipal Airport (SNS) offers a more relaxed atmosphere, ideal for pilots seeking a quieter, less congested airport. From there, pilots can take in panoramic views of the Salinas Valley or navigate the rugged terrain of the nearby Santa Lucia Mountains. The proximity of SNS to MRY also allows for quick, scenic flights up and down the coast.

For those seeking more of an adventure, pilots can head over to the small but challenging airports of Carmel Valley (KCVS) and King City (3O4), where they’ll find tighter approaches and more complex terrain, perfect for honing precision flying skills. These airfields offer a true test for pilots while still providing remarkable vistas of the surrounding countryside.
