SDAR Catalina Island Recon Tour!

Recommended Posts

I rallied my brand new housemates from Washington DC to join Charlie (CL300CAPT), Carla (WARP9), and I for a day trip to Catalina Island on Saturday. Charlie chartered a twin engine Seneca through his flying club and he steered that old bird to the west until we saw land. Great flight, but the drink service sucked... didn't see a flight attendant the entire flight. My first time to Catalina and my first time island hopping with a private plane! Thanks so much Charlie!

Prepping the plane (with $5 life preservers on standby)

Was there a rack on the back for the bikes?
