Fly In/Drive In

Southern California is a required destination for aviators and aviaton buffs of all kinds. Why not make Flabob your headquarters for your Southern California visit? If the budget will allow it, stay at the beautiful and historic Mission Inn, www.missioninn.com, nearby in downtown Riverside.

Riverside boasts many other fine hotels in all price levels www.riversidecb.com With your headquarters airport and hotel arranged, drive or fly to Chino Airport for a visit to the Air Museum -- Planes of Fame www.planesoffame.org, or the Yanks Air Museum www.yanksair.com.

Nearby March Air Reserve Base, with a rich history back to its founding in 1917, has the superb March Field Museum www.rth.org/march/mfm.html, and the associated P-38 museum and 475th Fighter Group Museum.

Less than an hour's scenic drive and an even shorter flight is Plam Springs Air Museum www.air-museum.org. Or travel the other direction to Santa Paula Airport and its museum www.amszp.org, with stops at Cable www.cableairport.com.

If these aren't enough, or if your travel party includes some whose primary interests lie elsewhere than in aviation, it is not possible to run out of interesting things to do in Southern California. Make Flabob your home base, hang out at the historic cafe, and get all the advice you'll ever need, some of it even consistent.
