Yeah thats true with San Bernadino, you can get current again in one traffic pattern.
Catalina, yeah for a Buffalo Burger but be careful of the bumps on the runway better to stay right of centre line, and cool watching the DC3's coming in to land.
Also agree, Big Bear is a goody.
And also agree up the Big Sur to San Fran and past Hearst Castle at sunset, what a beautiful trip!
Can I come, hehe
