The CFA air strip is located at Gillespie Field in San Diego County. Gillespie supports a well-maintained, controlled environment that also includes an FAA control tower. Unlike many other airports, Gillespie is not hectic or overly-busy. This means more flight time for you, plus you’ll gain extensive experience with control tower radio communications.
CFA is located in sunny San Diego, California, in the United States of America. The U.S. Weather Bureau describes San Diego’s weather as the most nearly-perfect in America.
