My Nephew Julian produced this video on our last flight doing a tour of LA and the South Bay. His adventures sightseeing all over Los Angeles can be found on his very informative website Journey Of 1.

USS Abraham Lincoln CVN-72 comes to San Pedro
the snail shaped campus of my Narbonne High
approaching San Pedro
A Nimitz class carrier docked just across from Cabrillo Beach, San Pedro. The first time in over 20 years there has been an aircraft carrier docked in the Port of Los Angeles. The entire Carrier Strike group docked here for a few days of shore leave, they are calling it "Navy Week" in Los Angeles. The news is saying the crowds are really bad, so I had to hop in the plane and go take a look from the air. More history here about the USS Abraham Lincoln. Incidentally Berth 46 is also the same site where the oil tanker SS Sansinea exploded, and rained debris everywhere and shatter windows all over San Pedro, as a kid in 1976 I thought it was an earthquake.
The South Bay
The South Bay is where I grew up. I used to ride my bike to Torrance Airport to watch airplanes. I used to love to see, and HEAR Bob Hoover's famous yellow P-51 Mustang roar over my house when it was landing at Torrance airport. Here's some pics from a quick flight I took to TOA.
