Fly Real Air Combat in Real Aircraft! Just like you've seen on TV and in the movies. Except you'll be doin' the yankin' and bankin'! This is hands-on, heart pounding, adrenaline pumping dogfighting. No pilot's license required--just guts! Many of our pilots are active duty Marine Corps and Navy pilots. Now hear this: Launch aircraft! Bogey, 12 o'clock high...rat-a-tat-tat...Splash one! Go ahead, make an Ace of yourself!

Directions to the airport
From the North or South and near the coast: Take I-5 to Carlsbad. Exit at Palomar Airport Road. Go East (away from that big blue body of water) 3.5 miles up a long hill then left at the traffic light at Yarrow Road (the cross street is called Yarrow on the right and is the airport entrance on the left).

From the East and inland: Take I-15 to Route 78 West (in Escondido). Take 78 about 5 miles to San Marcos Blvd. Exit on San Marcos Blvd. and go left (west) at the end of the exit. Stay on San Marcos Blvd several miles and it will turn into Palomar Airport Road when it crosses El Camino Real. At the next light after El Camino Real, turn right into the airport (the cross street is called Yarrow on the left).

Once at the airport: Make an immediate left where the road forks. Follow that all the way to the end and continue on it as bears to the right. Pass the Magellan security gate on your left and Jet Source on your right. Continue into the parking lot in front of you (slightly to the left). Park in any of the open spots. If there are none, go back out the to the entrance road (past the Magellan gate) and parallel park on the side of the road. Check in at the Carlsbad Aircraft Pilot Supply shop. If the shop is closed, please wait in front of the shop and the pilot will track you down. There's a Café at the opposite end of the field so plan to stop in if you've got the munchies.
