Comments about arriving and departing |
Hard airport to find from
the air. Houses right up against the taxiway and runway.

Flying into Hesperia ! |
|
The first time I went there I turned downwind on the GPS
BEFORE I found the airport. If you're not aligned with the
runway it's really hard to see. The Hesperia airport has homes with
hangers tight against the taxiway. The self service island is new and
the fuel is cheep. Make sure to chalk the wheels because everything
is on a slope. The restaurant is called Mile High in reference to the
load on the plates. I've had breakfast there several times and have
never been disappointed. There is a flight school on the field
called Hesperia
Flight Academy, tell Kelly I sent you.
I did shoot this video of flying too and landing at the
Hesperia airport!

Ok, my friend Kelly owns the flight school.
Every time I
arrive for breakfast he has a student scheduled and I have
to pay for my own breakfast. Almost caught him this time! I
think he hears me on the radio then runs out and starts a
plane. |
 |
The Mile High Cafe (Pink Building). No longer a
pilots secret the locals come out in force too. Good food
and lots of it! |
