Santa Monica to Catalina
by Yasser on Jun.23, 2009, under Flying Story
Below are a couple of videos of my flight to Catalina with my friend Tim. We took off from Santa Monica airport. I was a little nervous about landing there at the top of the cliff again but managed it ok. We stayed at Catalina for a mere hour relaxing before deciding to head back to Santa Monica. I checked the weather beforehand and we were meant to have clear skies all day, but we found out shortly after takeoff that forecasts just don’t cut it sometimes. We found the entire west coast suddenly covered with overcast cloud. I decided to make it back to the mainland, and diverted to Torrance airport to land east of the clouds.
