Fly with us in our Piper Arrow into historic San Bernardino Int’l Airport (KSBD) onto Runway 06. We’ll visit the Norton AFB Museum, do some planespotting at the USFS Air Tanker Base and grab delicious lunch. We’ll show you around the very luxurious Luxivair FBO and catch a beautiful sunset as we depart former Norton Air Force Base.

Restrooms
Restrooms are located inside the FBO. Walking in from the ramp, make a left from the lobby down the first hall and you’ll see the restrooms on the right hand side.
Transportation
Luxivair has crew cars available on a first come basis with a time limit. A car rental will be required for longer stays and Luxivair can help coordinate a car rental for your visit if required. Be sure to have to car insurance information handy if you plan on using the crew cars.
Food
There isn’t a café on field but there are plenty of delicious options close by. We loved Baja King Fish Tacos (even for non-seafood tacos). La Casa Restaurant is another highly rated option close by. Yaamav’a’ Resort and Casino is a 15 minute drive from the airport and another local’s favorite due to their seafood buffet.
FBO
Luxivair is the only FBO at KSBD. They have plenty of ramp space and provide full-service and self-service fuel Avgas. Take time to explore the luxurious FBO complete with Pilot’s Lounge, Flight Planning Room and a Theater. A Conference Room is available but be sure to ask the front desk before entering. You’ll find an automated espresso machine, soda dispenser, cold bottle water, snacks and fresh baked cookies. Make your way up to the patio for an amazing view of the field.
