I don't know why I didn't take many photos of the plane trip, but I clearly recall that it was a very small plane and didn't fly very fast. It was more than three hours in the air each way.
When we approached Catalina's Airport in the Sky, John told us that it was the second hardest runway he'd ever landed on - the first being an airstrip in a canyon in Korea. The approach begins at the edge of a 1500' cliff, he said, giving the airport characteristics similar to landing on an aircraft carrier that is high in the air. Yikes
But he got us there in good shape and we had a great weekend.
