Flying in California

Flying in California takes in ocean fog, desert heat and mountain passes in a single afternoon, and the airports reflect it: coastal fields hemmed in by water and city, desert fields with room for two-mile runways, and short strips high in the Sierra. Published airport information guides each composition's relative runway lengths and bearings, with fine details simplified for wall art.
