I flew his C172 VFR (We Followed the Road) from Fullerton to French Valley on a typical low visibility LA Sunday. I would not do it by myself without GPS…

I think I departed VFR later that week, but I don’t remember that well now. The airport was a good deal at the time: no landing fee, and only $20/night parking at Atlantic (first night free with fuel).

I used to wear sunglasses with a blue tint when I flew! Didn’t help the smog, but I could pretend the skies were blue and I felt better 🙂
