Sign up for a 3-day backcountry adventure.
Exploring new destinations, learning new things and sharing your aircraft’s capabilities is more enjoyable with new friends. Join a guided group of 2 or 3 other aviators as we polish up on our backcountry flying skills, explore off-airport strips and adventure like you’ve always dreamed. Ground school first. Learn the fundamentals of backcountry flying: what to pack, what to leave behind, where to land, backcountry communication and more. Then Fly: Leave West Desert Airpark in the early morning for our first destination, land, set up base-camp, join in for lunch and a 2-hour learning session (is that water safe to drink)? The next day, join the briefing and fly to a number of nearby backcountry strips. Fly home the following day. This is a must do for the backcounty enthusiast.
