Cable Airport

Well worth the $ 10 to get in. Tons of booths, food, drink and goodies. The planes, cars and parachuters were up close and terrific!

Okay, I may be a month late on reviewing this place but it was so fun, I have too! Luckily, for my last night at home in California, my wonderful stepmom has some amazing friends who own a Cessna. Cool right ?! She was kind enough to get us a cool sunset fly over SB mountains to close out my time! What an amazing experience I will never ever forget ! If you’re lucky enough to ever fly in a little plane or helicopter out of here, enjoy every minute of it and take LOTS of pictures :)

I don’t have a plane or a hangar here. My review is more from the observers appreciation. The north side of the Airport has an observers area with two tables and parking for about 5 cars. When the weather is nice this is a great location to enjoy some lunch while just appreciating the weather, the view of the mountains and a plane taking off or landing every once in a while. On the South Side via the main entrance you can get to Maniac Mike’s Café which is also a great place for breakfast or lunch and you can dine inside or out. Maniac Mike’s has it’s own Unilocal page.

This is a fine general aviation airport. It is just northwest of Ontario. You can grab a bite at Maniac Mikes café, sit outside and watch the arrivals and departing planes.
There is a flying club on field with a flight school. Looking to buy/​sell a plane? There is a broker on the field.
I often see families come out just to watch the activity. There is usually an air fair in January or February.

This is a great litle gem of an airport. I have been coming to the airshows for more than a few years now and there is always something interesting that you will see. Its the first airshow of the season that I know of and its a great place to hang out with friends and family. They also have a pancake breakfast at the café in the morning. So keep an eye out usually the 2^nd weekend of the new year for the airshow. They also have a carshow as well during the airshow.

Cable airport is a great little airport.
I have to confess, I have never flown into it. My experience is more with the observation area at the end of the runway…
I have no idea who came up with the idea to put a picnic bench at the end of the runway, but, they get 5 stars from me! You can bring the kids or just bring your lunch. You get to sit at the end of the runway and watch the planes take off and land.
This airport has a nice little restaurant as well with amazing views of the runway and surrounding area.
This is a good airport to looking into flying lessons as well. Far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the big airports!

I took my girlfriend for her first flight ever yesterday! We decided that a short flight with no destination, that could be stopped at any time would be the best option for her to finally concur her fear of flight. I was very happy with our experience, the staff was very understanding that it was her first time and reassured her that it would be fun once we were in the air. She ended up loving it and we couldn’t have chosen a better time for our flight. We had nice views all around and a great view of the sun set from the plane. The pilot was very friendly (cant remember his name) and made the experience very enjoyable.
Only let down was that my girlfriends headset didn’t work, so we switched so she could speak with the pilot during the flight.
Over all a very fun experience, would recommend and something I could see us doing again.

Great Airport with a nice Café with patio dining and view of the Runway. Owners and staff are always friendly.

went to the 37^th air show last weekend. ideal weather, free parking, lots of vintage planes, vintage car show/​parade that began with the upland high school regiment bag pipe band. many food booths to choose from, balloon man for the kids, amazing to see planes flying in formation! and what about the planes that fly straight up, stall and then come swirling down! i recommend taking the family to spend a day outside enjoying breathtaking stunts and ariel performances.

For Aviation Lovers and The Curious:
You will find no better spot in Southern California to experience aviation up close and personal. Cable has the best observation deck anywhere — offering views from the Foothills to San Bernardino Mountains most days. You can see aircraft approaching and sequencing themselves for landing over Rancho. You can hear the air traffic controllers in the tower issuing instructions to the aircraft while you sit and watch.
If you want you can also buy a few hours of fight time from the flight schools. An instructor will take you and two others out for a wonderful hour to an hour and a half flight around Ontario, Rancho… down to Fontan and or out over to Anaheim hills and back. They will let you fly the plane and even give you a flight book with a few hours under your belt.
It’s great to sit and enjoy your brown bag lunch and watch the action, it’s also a great place to bring the kids, they have a great time especially on Saturday or Sunday mornings when it’s a bit busier! This is also the time when you are most likely to see a larger variety of aircraft including some vintage models.
Can’t go wrong!

Sounds of planes flying by and ol’military war planes sitting on the tarmac. Gotta Love this place.
The airport actually made a parking area for several vehicles and placed a bench for people to sit down and watch landings and take offs just 50 feet from where you are at.
This is so cooool and they had to actually put signs on the roadway… that says low flying aircraft…
I could sit here for hours just enjoying the different aircrafts doing their flying lessons on touch and go…
Bring your burger and fries and sit on your tailgate and watch all the fun. Awesome takeoffs at sunset into the colorful sky!!!

This review is only for the NE parking area. I sat up there today and watched planes take off and land — it was a beautiful sunny day, and the planes come in on final almost over your head.
