Comments

  • Fine municipal airport. P-38 base during WWII. Re-named for local war hero and USC/Olympic track star from Torrance, who had a harrowing POW experience, and later mentored many disadvantaged teens.
  • Just a heads up, the image here is transposed making 29L and 29R in opposite order from where they actually lay.
