WVFC Mentorship Program Flyout
— Sunday, May 17th
— 11:30am – 5:00pm

Join us for a fly-out on Sunday, May 17th. The primary destination is Woody's at Monterey (MRY), with a backup at the Two Niner Diner in Petaluma (O69). Meet at the restaurant around 11:30 AM for good food and even better aviation stories.

This event is part of the WVFC Mentorship Program, which pairs newer and low-time pilots with more experienced pilots, focusing on real-world flying. This is a great environment for pilots at different stages in their journey who are looking for community and an added safety net.

Interested in joining the program as a Mentor or Mentee? Membership is open to all WVFC members with a PPL.

To get involved, reach out to Alan Marcum at [email protected], and he'll get you set up!
