Transit 2000 was a monthly television show produced by the Public Affairs Dept. of the Southern California Rapid Transit District and broadcast on Channel 13 in Los Angeles in 1992. Hosted by Joseph Benti and Dyana Ortelli, its focus is transportation in the 21st century, transit alternatives and issues in Southern California and car-less excursions to places and sites of interest in Southern California. This segment explores Santa Catalina Island, located off the coast of California, some 20 miles southwest of Los Angeles, its natural environment, numerous transportation alternatives (cars are a rarity on the island), and desalination project.

Catalina Landing

N951CC flies to Catalina for lunch then to Camarillo to visit family
We flew to Catalina on August 29th 2009 for lunch. It was a good flight after we climbed above the smoke from the LA fires. The buffalo burgers were pretty good, but the “cafe” was more of a bus-stop cafeteria. We had lots of fun with Lisa in Ojai, then flew back home on Sunday. I flew the ILS into Bakersfield to test out my ILS and marker beacon receivers (which worked fine). We landed in variable winds 25 gusting to 30 knots. I tried landing runway 28, but the left crosswind was too stiff and I couldn’t line up the airplane. I did a go-around and the second attempt on runway 22 was just fine.
