.jpg) Airport in the Sky The Airport in the Sky occupies a 1,602-foot-tall mountaintop at the center of the Island, 10 miles from the city of Avalon. It's a unique and exciting destination no matter how you arrive--via Wildlands Express, bicycle, on foot, or private aircraft. Its single 3,250-foot-long runway was constructed by blasting and leveling two adjacent peaks, then using the resulting debris to fill in the gaps. Want to know what it takes to fly to Catalina Island off the coast of California? Join the AOPA Air Safety Institute in the first episode of Beyond Proficient, a new series that focuses on safely getting you out of your comfort zone and challenging your flying skills.
DC-3 GIFTS & GRILL The DC-3 Gifts & Grill restaurant is famed for its buffalo burgers. You can also get regular beef, chicken, and vegetarian burgers, other sandwiches, and Mexican specialties (including buffalo tacos). During the summer, don't miss out on the Grill's Barbecue's featuring live music from Island band Hot off the Range. Call (310) 510-2196 for reservations. The gift shop offers Airport in the Sky coffee mugs, t-shirts, and key rings, buffalo jerky, and a collectible glazed tile in the style of the famed Catalina Pottery. Each month the Catalina Aero Club organizes a fly in to the Airport in the Sky. This is a great chance to check out some historic planes and visit with pilots. Click HERE for more information. There are several ways to get to Airport in the Sky: 1. The best way is to fly your plane over! Join the Conservancy's Aero Club for Unlimited Landings. 2. Ride the Wildlands Express up from Avalon.
