Big Sur Spring 2019 Camp and Fly

[Jeff Salisbury]

Hi all,

I've heard that Big Sur (California coast) is one of the most beautiful sites to fly in the world.  The Santa Barbara Soaring Association sponsors a fly-in each Fall and Spring.  This Spring, the fly-in is scheduled for Apr 5th through the 7th.  Here's this Spring's event on Facebook:

Here's a YouTube video from a previous year's event:

Who's interested?

I might be able to go. Let me dig a bit and see how I can make it work. When do you need to know by? Also do you have an idea on cost?

I believe the only hard cost is a $30 membership fee in the Santa Barbara Soaring Association.  The other costs are travel and camping.

There's no hard deadline on a commitment to go, either.  Also, because of our dependency on the weather, we wouldn't make the final call to actually go until 1 or 2 days before (after consulting with local pilots in the know).

Arg, I can't make it that weekend.  Have a blast.  Thanks for looking into that!

I’d be interested in going, it’s dependent on how our dogs surgery and recover goes though. Is is a USHPA site?   I wasn’t planning on renewing this year as I never fly USHPA sites and I’m not going for a P4 any time too soon.

What about a weekend that's not the fly in?

[Mike Walsh]

I like that idea!

[Braedin Butler]

Is it an ushpa site then?

[Dustin Hawkes]

I'm also curious about the site and if I'd be permitted to fly. 

[Jeff Salisbury]

I'm looking into it...

FYI - I was in Bandon, Oregon (on the coast) about a year ago and ran into some paragliders that said the soaring was really good in that area.  I can look into that more if the other doesn't work out.  I do not think it is a USHPA site.

It would be criminal to be that close to wood rat and not fly there..

I’m interested in this trip. I’ve flown Big Sur once. Absolutely beautiful.

I'm very open to a different weekend (other than Apr 5-7) if we can arrange a site intro from locals, and fly with locals, and also arrange for shuttles (or drivers) between the LZ and launch.

I've started reaching out to local clubs and schools to see about this (above), and also to see if Big Sur is a USHPA site or not.

Stay tuned!!!

I like the real event days and groups... 

weather is a different thing.

I wouldn't mind going to the fall fly-in, if it doesn't clash with the Red Rock one at Cove Mtn.
