Over Malibu, you can see the run off into the ocean -- be careful what you put down the drain-- it has to go somewhere. It was an awesome ride, my hat is off to the dedicated crew that keeps her flying!!
Like my shot but different beach.  LOL!!  It was fun, wasn't it!!!

Visitng San Diego.  I am sort of bummed because I only had wide angle/short telephotos on me, and then a CH-54 Skycrane took off  behind the admin building.
