Fly-out News
Following pancake breakfast on the first Saturday of each month pilots and guests gather and then head out on a day trip by air (aka a fly-out). This year we have chosen as a theme California aviation museums as our fly-out destinations. We usually keep to the theme, but not always.
On July 2nd a group of four pilots again intended to fly to McClellan Airfield (MCC) near Sacramento to visit the Aerospace Museum of California. The temperature was predicted to be near 100 degrees in the Sacramento area that day. The group decided that there was no need to endure such high temperatures so we changed our plans and headed somewhere cooler. We flew in two airplanes to Oceano County Airport (L52) which is situated along the central coast just south of San Luis Obispo. Once there we walked the short distance into town and enjoy a nice lunch at Old Juans Mexican Cantina. After lunch we walked down to the beach to pick up some salt water taffy at a local shop.
On Saturday, August 6th is the next schedule fly-out. Not sure where we will head to this time, so show up for the pancake breakfast and offer your suggestions.

Great Times To Catch Up With Fellow Pilots
Nothing is more inspiring than sitting around swapping stories about flying adventures. Someone said pilots are like fisherman, the tales only getting better with time.
Trade Winds Aviation offers two opportunities to catch up with fellow pilots. On the first Saturday of the month we host a pancake breakfast. The pancakes are ready starting at 9:00 AM. For those of you who are not early raisers on Saturdays, we have a second opportunity to get together. On the third Friday of the month we host a barbecue starting at 5:00 PM. Drop on by. Bring your family and friends.
