Here I am at Brackett Field in the City of La Verne, in easternmost Los Angeles County, on June 16, 2001. The plane behind me is a Cessna 152-II, the workhorse of the private pilot circuit. Picture courtesy Rodney Nelson.
Posing behind the controls of the plane, which
has a 33' wingspan. In the air, it travels at about 110 mph (the
speed of flight can be measured in two ways: relative to the air
passing over the wings, or relative to the ground below). Picture
