Located on the slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountains in northern
California, Plumas County is still one of the best kept secrets in California. Sugarpine
Aviators is pleased to occupy center stage at the 4100 foot-long Gansner Airfield at the
county seat in Quincy. The charm and beauty of this sparsely-populated area lies partly in
the uncongested traffic pattern at the mountain airport, a perfect setting to learn the
art of mountain flying. The population of Plumas County is 21,000 people with 6600
residing in the Quincy area. The town, picnic and camping sites, motels, a health club and
the Feather River Community College are within easy walking distance of the airport.
Plumas County has a well-defined four season climate with each season
promoting different activities. The natural beauty of the forest and meadow lands changes
with each season giving one a special sense of the passing of time and of being alive.
Plumas County comprises 2,618 square miles, of which over one million
acres (67%) is National Forest land. Approximately 1,000 miles of streams; about
100 lakes; 5,000 acre Plumas Eureka State Park and part of Lassen Volcanic National Park,
plus the Bucks Lake Wilderness Area.
Not far away are 7 golf courses, 2 ski areas, 150 motels, resorts and trailer parks.

far enough in exploring the more difficult phases of takeoffs
