Take a Flycation. Travel while learning to fly better and experience new sites. A good pilot is always learning no matter what your skill level is. Every winter we try to go on a flycation to some awesome place on the planet for flying. Consider joining us. Save money, learn a lot, and cultivate relationships with other pilots. We often go to our old soaring grounds of Hawaii and Southern California. Hawaii is an amazing place to fly but to fly their safely you must understand the very complex weather and wind dynamics. We have mapped out after many days of walking, driving and flying the best places under all weather conditions. We will teach this theory and you can take it with you to evaluate future sites you may fly. We also can say quickly its not a good day and not waste time flying when there are many other fun adventures to embark on.
