Airport Information
John Wayne/Orange County Pilot Reviews:
Kyle L.
May 23, 2026Really excellent controllers. This was my first time flying in here, and they gave us some pretty wild vectors to final on an IFR flight plan while the weather was visual. They're busy, but highly efficient and to the point. The airport and Clay Lacy FBO are both great.
Jim G.
February 19, 2026That left turn off 20L has nothing at all to do with the homes. It's just there to de conflict with 20R departures.
Edmond R.
February 7, 2026On a VFR departure off 20L, you really need to turn left right away at least 15 degrees for the noise sensitive area ( houses). If you look down and can see homes, you are not far enough to the left .
