  • Today we’re headed to a remote, privately owned airport on Catalina Island. The island is located roughly 22 miles off the coast of Southern California. It takes about an hour to get there by boat, and 15 minutes by air. The Airport in the Sky runway is a mere 3000 feet in length and sits at the highest point of the island at 1600 feet high. It was recently refurbished in January of 2019.

      The correct expression is "living life to the full", not "fullest".

    KAVX is a fun airport to visit and the Buffalo burgers are great. I flew out there in a Tomahawk several years ago. Back then you couldn't see one end of the runway from the other. Is it still the same after the runway renovation? Safe Skies!

    • @MartyMitchell92660
      @MartyMitchell92660 3 роки тому

      Yep, same now. They didn't change the grade, only the surface.

    The buji config of CR22 is 1/2 mil, yah I wish I had that kind of Blackstone backing :) But I loved the video - been there all the way from the bay area on a C172 - much different experience after 4 hours in a crammed cockpit :)

    I flew out of Zamperini Field (TOA) after relocating to CA. Great field, and has a local Civil Air Patrol squadron, which is quite active. Having Special Flight Rules Area over LAX is an easy and wild trip.
    Landed at Catalina once - a bit unnerving with its rise in the middle. Oh... refurbished a year ago - does it still have the up-hill (both ways) in the middle?
    29L! Glad you didn't land on Taxiway Alpha -- perfectly fine looking runway to me as well...

    Let me know when you're up for another Airport in the Sky, KSEZ Sedona's aircraft carrier on a mesa. Already 900 ft agl at runways drop off end, a rush. Airport day has WWll planes, B-17& B-25 and a car show.
    Great job as always with continuity and editing, keeping it interesting. Looks like doing great! Live it! CaptCraig/Treetop flyer

    Absolutely Beautiful Steph. The island looked nice too 😉. My cousin has a 900 acre Bison Ranch in Montana. I will share info only with your permission. The flying "family" is the best. Thank You Steph. Be Safe. Mitch

    You didn't show taking off from Catalina, a very cool and sometimes scary experience with the end of the runway being a cliff.

    $35 landing fee. Restaurant is closed. Website says open. No shuttle to town. $35 just to land! Like a speed trap...

    • @StephTaylerLive
      @StephTaylerLive  4 роки тому +1

      David Dunn It’s the aviation saying for using $200 of fuel to fly somewhere and sit down for lunch.
