Meta Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Rather see Santa Maria, San Luis Obispo, or Santa Barbara. Same area, scenic, mixed use with commercial flights, control tower, instrument approaches. Paso Robles would be nice too...no tower but everything else and surrounded by some nice wineries. Not that I'd complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripcord Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 A guy name Dwight did a song about that place. I've been there way back in the day, and remember it being something of an industrial/agricultural type of town (not unlike Houston in some sense).

dominique Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Dangerous business you're asking here, Tim. The American Lung Association ranked Bakersfield as the most ozone-polluted city in the nation in 2006.[46] It was also ranked as the second-most polluted city in terms of both short-term and year-round particle pollution.[47][48] In Peter Greenberg's book Don't Go There!, Bakersfield is mentioned for its high ozone levels, and postulates that its rapid increase in size is causing the increasing rate of pollution from new construction.[49] As of 2013, when measured by atmospheric particulate matter—specifically PM10, particles of 10 µm or less—Bakersfield is listed as having the worst air in the United States.[50] <cough> <cough> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripcord Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 That could very well be the one -- it is most likely going to involve a pretty stunning natural setting, if ORBX is interseted in doing it, so that means mountains or coastline, generally speaking. They might surprise us and do something out in the desert, like in Mojave, but I wouldn't bet on it. Probably Stew's guess is my guess, now that he has pointed it out.

Rob Abernathy Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 San Luis Obispo would be my choice. Plenty of coast lines, interesting mountains, lakes and not to far from Santa Barbara or even up to the San Francisco Bay area. Have to admitt it's near the coast and not inland like Bakersfield. Yeah, guessing is fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripcord Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I would also like SLO. Nice area. But this other place looks intriguing too -- some lake in the hills just on the edge of the Mojave.... should be a fun day trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Hobson Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 If you want to take a look at the area, take off from Bakersfield, Meadows Field, KBLF, head east and follow the Kern River until you get to Lake Isabella. Kern Valley airport is just north of the lake. Google Earth is your friend. Stew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripcord Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Google Earth is my friend, and has been for quite some time.

Stewart Hobson Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Yep! The place is still there--flew there the other day on a longish tour of the whole area to see how it looks with SCA enabled. Not bad at all! I have a friend who lives in Bakersfield who might be willing to fly up there and take some pictures, but he hasn't responded to my inquiries to do so. Not a good sign......

KernRussCo Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I know this is an old topic/thread, but yes +1 for living in Bakersfield CA. Born and raised, and in the maintenance/construction industry for 15 years. I can tell you damn near every architectural/engineering specification of this town you'd ever care to know, from the 178 to the 58 to the 204 from the 99 into what will be the westside parkway down to the grapevine back around to the Killer Kern Canyon coming home to oildale after hanging with the rich folks at 7 oaks who got off work at the refinery *big gasp for air*.... I think ill just land a chopper on the valley plaza mall. They called and said their A/C is broke down. what do you need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
