Coast to Desert, Without the Drive

The San Carlos–Truckee route covers 169 miles of West Coast geography that the Epic E1000 handles in approximately ~40 min. It's the kind of flight that reframes how you think about regional travel — not as a major undertaking, but as a short hop that fits naturally into a workday or weekend.Leaving from San Carlos Airport, FlyEpic owners experience the private aviation difference immediately: a quiet FBO instead of a terminal, ramp access instead of a gate queue, and departure time set by your calendar. At cruise altitude, Starlink WiFi means productivity doesn't pause — and the Epic E1000's 53-inch cabin width means there's room to spread out, brief a team, or simply arrive relaxed.Truckee and the broader Lake Tahoe region offer exactly the kind of destination that justifies fractional ownership. North Lake Tahoe - Northstar, Palisades Tahoe, and the lake's most exclusive shoreline. When access to that world is ~40 min from San Carlos, the value proposition becomes self-evident.
