DC-3 on departure roll. This
aircraft is based at Corona but every time it takes to
flight the airport shuts down to watch. |

several movies and TV shows. |

Turning final runway 07 at Corona.
Runway 07 is rarely used unless the Santa Ana winds are
blowing and with the airport being at the mouth of the Santa
Ana Canyon we are talking 20 and 30 knot crosswinds, talk
about a ruff ride down final. Plan landing 1000' from the
approach end for an easier approach. |

After the fires of 2007
Corona airport was chosen as a bose of operation to reseed the hills of Orange
County. This operation added a 100 operation a day to an
already busy traffic pattern. |
|
Local pilots and tankers had
to share the tiny Corona airport. |
|
|
|
This operation was very
impressive to watch. When a tanker arrived it was washed,
filled with hydro seed and sent back
out in about 3 minutes. |

A temporary advisory service
was sent up on the north side of the airport. To the left is
the break room and on the right is the chiefs office. Or is
it the other way around? |
