The City to provide funding in an amount not to exceed $12,900 to the Western Museum of Flight for 36 airplanes to conduct flyovers during the 2020 Armed Forces Day Parade on May 16, 2020. 2. The event will be designated as a special exhibit under Section 46.8.10 of the Torrance Municipal Code which exempts such events from aircraft noise regulations. Ms. Macha stated the Western Museum of Flight has identified 36 airplanes that are available to conduct flyovers for this year’s Parade. She noted all 36 pilots have requested that their fuel costs be reimbursed and called attention to their related fuel costs identified in Attachment A. She further requested that an additional $1,000 be allocated to the Western Museum of Flight to cover the expense of providing meals for certified marshals, pilots, crew, and staff. In response to Commissioner Ross’s inquiry, she stated fuel costs are higher this year than last year because this year they are adding more and larger aircraft, noting any unused funds go back to the City.

  • The Catalina Triangle — Magnificence & Mystery Meet Mayhem & Murder Most Foul Off the Souther California Coast
    THE CATALINA TRIANGLE — MAGNIFICENCE & MYSTERY MEET MAYHEM & MURDER MOST FOUL OFF THE SOUTHER CALIFORNIA COAST Dedicated to the many men and women who have lost their lives in the Catalina Triangle by Ned Madden, San Clemente, Calif. – 2017 * * * “…The lure of the sea is some strange magic that makes men love what they fear. Death on the shifting barren sands seems less insupportable to the imagination than death out on the boundless ocean, in the awful, windy emptiness. Man's bones yearn for dust.” — Zane Grey "If a life is taken close to the 33rd Parallel North, this fits with the Masons’ demonic mythology in which they demonstrate their worldly power by spilling human blood at a predetermined locale." — "Masons and Mystery at the Parallel" by Day Williams (Anti-Freemason Christian writer) A bee on a balloon and a kite on the moon … The Catalina Triangle … a 1,200-square-mile pie-slice-shaped wedge of Pacific Ocean off the OC coast in between Dana Point, Santa Catalina and San Clemente islands … works in mysterious ways, and, yeh, I did once look up to glimpse that very real and singular close-bee- balloon/far-kite-moon visual floating before my eyes as I walked along the Capo Beach strand. No surprise. I’ve come to expect Catalina Triangle strangeness – like the Avalon “sleepkiller,” the 33rd Parallel/“Bloodline of the Earth” link, Natalie Wood and Phil Hartman, St. John Capistrano: “Scourge of the Jews,” sado-masochistic padres and blood-soaked natives, ghosts and pirates, a 30-kiloton nuke, mountain ranges spun sideways, sinking islands and northwest- trending fault epicentrum, Borderland and Bight, Gyre and eddy, countercurrent and undercurrent, earthquake and tsunami, moonscape sea craters and underwater knoll oases, Navy SEALs’ bin Laden-killing fake city, a real building made of human bones, largest animal (with the largest penis, a ten-footer) ever to draw breath and spout water vapor (the animal, not the organ) in the long sweep of phallic time on Mother Earth herself … beginning-of-life stuff.

    TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM AVIATION AND AIRPORT GROUND ACCESS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS TECHNICAL REPORT ADOPTED ON SEPTEMBER 3, 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1 INTRODUCTION 2 REGIONAL SIGNIFICANCE 3 REGULATORY FRAMEWORK 18 ANALYTICAL APPROACH 19 EXISTING CONDITIONS 23 STRATEGIES 31 NEXT STEPS 36 CONCLUSION 40 REFERENCES 41 TECHNICAL REPORT AVIATION AND AIRPORT GROUND ACCESS ADOPTED ON SEPTEMBER 3, 2020 connectsocal.org EXECUTIVE SUMMARY TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM The SCAG region is home to seven commercial airports with scheduled passenger service, seven government/military air fields, and over 30 reliever Aviation and Airport and general aviation airports. On a daily basis, the region’s airports provide service to hundreds of thousands of air passengers, and thousands of tons of cargo. Moreover, the airports in the SCAG region employ approximately 60,000 Ground Access people onsite. Therefore, thousands of passengers, employees, and goods are traveling the region’s roads, highways, and transit systems to get to and from the airports. As a metropolitan planning organization (MPO), SCAG does not have any regulatory, developmental, operational, or planning authority over the airports. Rather, SCAG is primarily a regional surface transportation planning agency that maintains a list of airport ground access projects and a consultative relationship with the airports. Therefore, SCAG is focused on air and passenger cargo activity from the perspective of how the traffic coming and going from the airports affects the region’s roads, highways, and transit system. One critical aspect of SCAG’s role in aviation systems and transportation planning is the Aviation Element of the 2020-2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (2020 RTP/SCS) (Connect SoCal).
