Desert Horse Park has multiple two or three week long competitions where people will fly their horses into one of the larger airports with quarantine facilities, like Los Angeles, but they will be using our airport.” This year, the events are expanding to 18 weeks for the competitions. Jacqueline Cochran Regional has several big Fixed Base Operators that attract larger jets and corporate clients. According to Powszok, “They come in from, say, their home in the Palm Springs area and they like to fly into our airport because it’s so much easier. We see a lot of celebrities and wealthy people that want to fly in a bit under the radar.
