There's nothing like it on a nice day. The views of the water and
beaches are just spectacular.

One of my great airplane rides was on a Douglas C-117 back in about 1966.
From Ogden, UT to the airbase in Novato, Ca. Is a DC-3 variant and we had
to stay below 10,000 feet and it cruised at maybe 200 knots. Beautiful
summer day. Could watch the skiers in the CAlif foothill lakes, and we
were maybe at 1000' AGL over Donner pass. We followed I-80 the whole way.

We flew home from Puerto Rico, in 1954, in a C-124. Great flight. I was ten years old
and got to ride in the cockpit almost the whole way back.
