Gillespie Field

I have to agree with the earlier post Gillespie Field offers the locals very little other than the risk of rich old men flying planes into their houses. It would seem that we average 1.5 plane crashes every two years. 99.99% of the people that have to listen to and be put at risk living near this field simply doesn't justify having it here. Why do airlines need co-pilots and private owners don't? Update: 12.28.21 Another plane crash into a house. This place DOES NOT SERVE THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY.

You have rich people flying motorcycles over your house all weekend and Chinese pilots being paid for my Boeing learning to fly all week long. Either way this airport is largely useless to anyone who actually lives around it. The people who run it don't care, because they are not local residents either.

Cool little airport, public parking to the SE to sit and watch the planes come and go. The FBO on-site is great and extremely accommodating.

All I have to say to Ed is 'If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!' I live in the area and had seen planes in the air every day for years. So I did a little research and learned that Gillespie is a GREAT place to learn how to fly. You have a fantastic opportunity to learn about aviation and the location couldn't be better. You would then become aware of the regulations involved and not see it as a nuisance but rather as a blessing. I would highly recommend Golden State Flying Club
