ADS | APA | BFI | DAB | DAL | DVT | FFZ | FXE | LGB | MMU | MYF | PDK | RVS | SDL | SFB | SNA | TEB | VNY | ALL I am a corporate pilot and after years of flying for the airlines and for the corporate world I decided to create this free site to help us all out. I was tired of wasting away while sitting in the crew rooms watching CNN. I often heard of great activities in certain cities just 10 minutes from the airport but unfortunately I always heard of them the day after I was there. Now we can share our finds and help out the next pilot and also refresh our minds of what we have found in our travels.
