Bakersfield Flying Club

Join the Bakersfield Flying Club for an insightful session on aviation weather with television meteorologist Miles Muzio. If you think you know clouds, think again. Or, come to hear about the taxonomy of fluffy, friendly or fierce clouds.
Miles delivers the genus and species of all those white specters you so frequently fly through, some you have never seen or heard of. Enhance your understanding of aviation weather and build your skills in safe flight planning.
