Are spectators (non-turbine pilots) welcome? I'd love to drive out and take a look.

Yes! Come on out, catch the turbine bug, join the club or, just enjoy the camaraderie.

Thanks David. I want to take a look at them before I get into that hobby. I've been thinking about it for a while now. Initially the F-22 was what I was interested in. I may go with an F-4 Phantom though since that's my most favorite bird dating back to my good old Midway days

I met a turbine pilot at where I fly glow planes by the name of Dantley back in early '13. He mentioned Buttonwiillow as to where he and others fly turbines. I'm interested to check it out this year.

I'm sure you'll see both. You can get some feedback from the owners and make your decision. Introduce yourself when you arrive and I'll show you around.

Dantley has a new F-4 he's prepping now. Hopefully he will be in attendance
