New to RVs: Want to meet San Diego RV Pilots

[Dancer]

BTW Kai,

I screwed up part of my horizontal stabilizer. Is there a DAR down there at Brown Field that is familiar with RVs that I can email a photo to for some advice?

Thanks,
Lance

This may be too far north of greater San Diego, but there are about 10 RVs and some budding Rockets at L18. The runway is 2100' and I believe one of the shortest around in GA. We kinda like it that way. Not many pieces of big iron here and a very nice place to hang out. Not many too cool for school "Pilots". Lot's of new hangers were just built over the past three years and many are for sale or for rent (I have one of each). Come by and check it out. Even has a GPS approach.

Kai,
Thanks for all of the info & local perspective. Gillespie is probably going to end up being the most convienient for me- Great to hear the EAA'ers dream part!

It sounds like the EAA'ers at Brown are quite motivated with their hangar projects! Any such motivation at Gillespie!?!? Wanted: Hangar to share!!!

Fallbrook also sounds great, but it's a bit far for me. I'll certainly make the flight to go check it out though! Any other local treasures (airports) in the SoCal area?

You know - I have not gotten far enough along in my planning to think about DAR's. I'll have to ask around tomorrow and get back to you on that. With all of the construction going on (including an RV-4) the question should be easy to answer though.

They are always building at Gillespie - unfortunately all the talk is Jet ports though to the consternation of surrounding neighborhoods. The usual bigwig developers trying to cash in on deep pocket corporate jet operations. Same thing at Montgomery and Brown. HERE is some hope for you though. Their lease extension looks like more hangers for the common folk.
