    SAN BERNARDINO, CA, May 31, 2019 /24-7PressRelease/ -- SOAR! is hosted by Luxivair SBD located at the San Bernardino International Airport. SOAR! San Bernardino will take place on Saturday, June 1, 2019 from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

"Luxivair SBD is excited to host this outstanding event that connects the local community to aviation," says Wendy Bechtel, FBO Manager. "We are especially excited to inspire youth to learn about, and experience aviation right here in San Bernardino."
