<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>We’re excited to announce the return of one of our favorite traditions—our annual fly-in and campout at Kern Valley Airport (L05)! We’re looking forward to doing it again in 2026 and hope you’ll join us.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Nestled along the Kern River and surrounded by stunning Sierra Nevada scenery, Kern Valley offers a true backcountry feel with the convenience of on-field camping. It’s the perfect opportunity to practice mountain flying skills, enjoy cool evening air under the stars, and spend quality time with fellow club members.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>We’ll plan to arrive in the early afternoon, set up camp near our aircraft, and enjoy a relaxed evening together. Bring your tent, tie-downs, warm layers, and your favorite camp chair. Whether you’re an experienced mountain pilot or looking to build confidence flying into higher-elevation airports, this trip offers both great experience and great company!</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><strong>There’s no need to reserve a campsite on your own, the club will coordinate and take care of the group camping arrangements. Just plan to bring your gear, and we’ll handle the rest</strong>!</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --></p> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Please RSVP no later than April 11th</strong></p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
