Worth visiting!

My First Private Flight

I was probably about 10 and one of my dad’s friends took us up in his Cessna for a day. This was our point of origin. Like the other abandoned airfields in the area, it’s been redeveloped now. Instead of flight enthusiasts, it’s strip malls, box stores, and office parks.

Bleah.

Abandoned places:

Now, there’s a specialty, especially those abandoned to arch-consumerism.

Golden Arch Consumerism?

Lots of McPlaces there – on the same website, there’s a bit about the Fontana field, which isn’t all that far from work. I remember when they used to launch gliders out of that or one of the other defunct fields.

That’s a hobby I’d gladly take up now.
