    Awesome will do if I have any questions. Flying out of Mesa should be fun! Way different than flying up north in Prescott.

    I did a little searching, looking to see where the aircraft may be.

    Unfortunately, I discovered that all of the Boeing 314s are no longer in existence. :( They were used during the war, and saw limited non-Pan Am use after the war. But, once they outlived their usefulness...

    How sad.

    Runway surface was about 6 years past its useful life. It's a federally funded project.

    How deep? That was always the issue with taking a Gulfstream into a smaller airport. You had the runway performance to takeoff and land but there was no guarantee the ramp could support you when parked.

    Hello aviators :plane:

    Do any of you know about flying into the Lake Tahoe airport (I believe it is: KTVL) from Southern California (Orange County)? From what I understand this airport only supports smaller aircraft (correct me if I am wrong) and am wondering how I would go about chartering a flight out there. Do any of you use a particular company or service? This is all very new to me and have no idea where to start. I know Reno is a good alternative, but wouldn't mind getting some insight on flying to Tahoe or smaller airports in general.
