Catalina Pilot Reviews:
Alexander M.
July 7, 2026If average, overpriced burgers with yellow jackets all over them are your thing -- then you MUST land here. Worth doing one time, just be prepared for the landing fee (or buy a membership) and keep an eye out for the strange sight picture.
Matthew W.
February 23, 2026Had another decent flight. The runway was in solid shape. Per Airport Manager Karl, the VOR is permanently out of service.
Noah S.
January 13, 2026Fly in between Christmas and New Year. Fine day to fly so many planes were at the transient. On Unicom and the airport people were good to help us find one. Make certain to pay landing fee once finished parking. Really tasty buffalo burger and fine staff.
