What we’re about
This group is for Bay Area general aviation enthusiasts and anyone who wants to travel, sightsee, shoot photos, and take part in flying adventures we put together. If you're a pilot, we'll put you in touch with passengers who might want to fly with you. If you're a passenger, we'll put you in touch with pilots who might want you to come along on flying trips and adventures we organize.
Our trips may be as brief as a 30-minute sightseeing flight over the Golden Gate or as long as a weekend rafting trip to the Kern Valley or a week-long ski trip to Tahoe or Utah. If you've never traveled in a small plane, you might be surprised at the amazing views that California has to offer, sights you'd never see from a commercial airliner.
Membership in Pilots and Friends is free to passengers and you'll never be asked to pay more than your share of the flight cost (typically $40-50/hr total). Food, lodging, and excursions, would be extra.
