plane crash at Pomona

That’s Brackett airport. I’ve flown over the Pomona strip many times landing there. Any kind of engine problem on final or takeoff could put you into the strip. One memorable takeoff in the company Baron (at well over max gross and six passengers) made me really nervous. It was a high density altitude day and we climbed out very slowly and low over the strip. Taking off to the west can also be exciting because of the hill and the reservoir. Several planes have gone in there too. It’s a shame, because a lot of the small airports on the coast get closed because complaints from area residents and businesses. Most of those airports closed because of infringing development, even though they had been there first, often for many years.
