Not Every Hangar Gets a Governor

At Coast Air Center, we’re no strangers to big arrivals at Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport (KMYF). But while our ramp is usually packed with Cirrus SR22s and Vision Jets, things looked a little different this week. Governor Gavin Newsom and his team took over our hangar for a major San Diego press conference, turning our aircraft maintenance floor into a statewide stage.

It isn’t every day the Governor chooses your shop as a backdrop. While we’re mostly known as San Diego’s premier Authorized Cirrus Service Center, having him here was a solid reminder that our facility is one of the cleanest and most professional FBO spots in Southern California.

Why the Hangar was the Perfect Backdrop

They needed a spot that reflects California’s high-tech energy—and nothing says "modern" quite like a pristine hangar filled with the world’s most advanced general aviation aircraft.

• The Ultimate Venue: Our hangar isn’t just for annual inspections and Continental engine work; it’s a top-tier space built for excellence.
• Aviation Advocacy: Hosting events like this helps highlight how important San Diego aviation and local airports are to the state’s infrastructure.
• Business as Usual: Even with the camera crews and security everywhere, our factory-trained technicians didn't skip a beat. We’re still getting planes back in the air on schedule, just with a few more stories to tell around the coffee machine.

Fly in for the Service, Stay for the Quality

Whether you’re a politician, a business leader, or a pilot who simply demands the best for their Cirrus aircraft, Coast Air Center is the place to be. We provide the same VIP treatment to every owner who taxis onto our ramp—governor or not.

Next time you’re flying into San Diego, come see the space that’s making headlines. We’ve got the best Jet-A and 100LL fuel prices in town, the cleanest hangars, and an award-winning team that knows how to handle the pressure.

Let’s get you on the schedule!
