All,
We’re living in strange times! Amidst this outbreak, AJX will be following the county of San Bernardino’s guidelines and legal restrictions as they pertain to conducting flight operations. Current guidelines and directives can be found here:
http://wp.sbcounty.gov/dph/coronavirus/
We are strongly recommending all of the following to any pilots still wanting to get in the air:
- Avoid all personal contact
- No shared vehicles and rides to launch
- Avoid touching common surfaces
- Leave area when done flying
- Do not invite friends or family to AJX
Stay safe out there.
EDIT: California has issued a shelter in place order as of last week. More on that here.

April 21, 2020 at 9:14 AM #8060General MemberLight at the end of the tunnel: today, San Diego reopened / eased restrictions on many of the county parks.
Still not back to normal by any means, and definitely still a time for conservative flying (or staying home), but that’s a good sign.

Public Recreational Activities. Individuals and those living in the same household or living unit,may engage in outdoor recreational activities at parks, trails and lakes, including, but not limited to, walking, running, hiking, equestrian activities, bicycle riding, boating, golfing, pickleball and tennis. While engaging in outdoor recreational activities, social distancing and face covering requirements must be complied with, gatherings may not occur,….
April 28, 2020 at 1:00 PM #8115San Bernardino county’s official page says the following.
”A State and Local Health Order has been placed for residents to stay at home except to get food, care for a relative or friend, get necessary health care, or go to an essential job. If you must leave your home for an essential outing, wear a face covering that covers your nose and mouth and keep at least 6 feet of distance from other people.”
Exactly how is AJX operating close to normal with commercial activities, students, visiting pilots, and oh yeah – emergency services being delivered? Maybe those of you participating feel you’re super cool, or some kind of aerial outlaw, but many of us have other words to describe you and your irresponsible actions.
April 28, 2020 at 4:59 PM #8116Thanks for that James. I, for one, agree with you. I had planned to do some flying this spring. Was looking forward to it. Decided it was selfish.

Some are afraid “it could make them look weak”.

General MemberFreedom, for all to <b>choose.</b>
Mitchell, I like the “boot licker” comment!
Peter: Hike and Fly is still an option.
I prefer to drive to launch (750), and above, then hike back and retrieve my truck. Leaving my gear behind in the container, (LOCK-UP), (Or Down).
<b>FULL DISCLOSURE: SOCIAL DISTANCING ACHIEVED!</b>
Getting exercise and some freedom during these times helps all off us, “blow off some steam”, and release some pent up energy.
Masks: Yes, I wear them around people. To the store, etc.. It’s not a big deal for me. I will generally stay upwind of you if I’m talking with you, I’m 65 yrs. old and use an inhaler due to asthmatic conditions. If I get this crud, I’m a goner.
Choosing to fly: Yes, under moderate conditions for me. I definitely don’t want to end up taxing the medical system due to an incident, at these times. Besides, that’s where all the Covid people are! Are you crazy?
Thank You Stephen for posting your thoughts.
Stay safe and be vigilant for ourselves and others!
Fly Safe!

May 9, 2020 at 11:36 AM #8369General MemberLanding! Plenty of distance (not a soul around).
Great catch on the webcam, Jeff!

I am no longer going to do any repair or sewing work for anyone who is now, or did during the fabricated ” crisis” advertising, promoting, or complying with the California CV19 quarantine scam.
This Seinfeld episode comes to mind.
