    Description

    This is a wonderful place to fly into. The airport is about 2-miles form a very nice town with good restaurants and motels. If you like fishing you can walk to the Kern River and fish year around or you can rent a car/Junker from the airport manager and go up river and fly fish for the big ones. There is also a very big river rafting community in town. Camping at the field also available at a very nice camp ground maintained by the airport manager. As of January 2009 NO AV-GAS at the field. The local pilots association is trying to fix that but it will take a while.

      Airplane camping at Kern Valley, California with gusty winds!

      I took my Grumman Tiger to go airplane camping at the beautiful campground of Kern Valley, California, located in the lower Sierra Nevada Mountains. The winds were gusty that day, making for a very sporty approach and landing. The airport is located a few miles south of the small town of Kernville and sits right next to the Kern River. It's a short hop from Los Angeles in the plane and feels like a world away. Airplane camping can be.a very rewarding experience and I highly encourage any pilots to go give it a try.

      Let's Go Flying: Lone Pine via Olancha Peak and Whitney Portal

      Shot on a spectacular flight within the High Sierra, this film thoroughly captures the experience of exploring some of California’s most amazing country with a small plane. Includes overflights of Domeland Wilderness in the Kern Plateau, the Sierra Nevada Crest and Whitney Portal. Close approaches to land features are enhanced with glorious QHD video. Major land features are labeled for the pleasure of learning about the region.

      Starting from Kern Valley Airport, this flight climbs up into the Domeland Wilderness of the Kern Plateau, then on to Olancha Pass, Cartego Canyon, Whitney Portal, and the Alabama Hills before landing in Lone Pine.

      This film is the first segment of a two-part flight. The second film (to be released later) covers the flight from Lone Pine, to Cerro Gordo Mine, Panamint Valley and then Saline Valley.

      This is shot in glorious, multi-camera 2.7K HD, so be sure to use the highest resolution setting you can for your maximum enjoyment.
