The Saturday, March 15th lunch fly-in to Borrego Springs was a little different than most of our lunch fly-ins due to some turbulence forecasts enroute to Borrego Springs. Of course our intrepid DAF aviators responded in kind with a variety of solutions to the bouncy forecast. With eleven aircraft departing Torrance, Hawthorne, and Long Beach, we had six aircraft head to Borrego Springs, three aircraft went to El Monte, and two to French Valley. It turned out to be the best decision for everyone involved as all DAFers had a fun lunch somewhere in Southern California and they got to use their airplane to get there! Borrego Springs was a fun destination and the weather turned out to be a perfect 72F there. With about 20 DAFers at the La Casa Del Zorro Hotel Bistro restaurant at Borrego we had excellent food and a great time hiking around on the hotel grounds.

A big thanks to Robert Beckwith for planning the lunch fly-in and for persevering after having the event canceled twice for weather in 2024!
