If you're a private pilot, getting to Mammoth by air can save you a ton of traffic and time -- and the Sierra views from 10,000 feet are world class. But for all the obvious reasons like wind, snow, visibility, terrain and turbulence, flying into KMMH can be challenging. I interviewed my favorite pilot to get his top tips for general aviators. Because I'm me I've taken the editorial liberty of 'extending' his comments. Click here for his advice, my commentary, and more fantastic pics and videos of our Eastern Sierra flying fun.

Topics we'll cover:

  • Top tips for Eastern Sierra flying
  • Minimizing turbulence from SoCal
  • Airport options
  • Challenges at KMMH/Mammoth Yosemite Airport

Also lots of great aerial photos of the Eastern Sierras, video flybys of Mt. Whitney & Mammoth Mountain, and landing at KMMH.
