Ali became my new boss when I accepted a managerial position in Tivoli. Shortly after, he visited Santa Cruz, and I offered to take him flying. Not wanting to show a lack of confidence in me, what choice did he really have?

Shortly after takeoff, this is a shot out the back. |
This is part of 17 mile drive, on the tip of Monterey peninsula. |
|
Santa Cruz's premier tourist attraction, the wharf, beach and and the boardwalk on the right. |
The Santa Cruz yacht harbour. |
|
The Tivoli Santa Cruz office, with Highway 1 on the right. Keep following that for about 1 and a half hours and you're in San Francisco. Take it south for about 10 hours and you're in Los Angeles. |
The view of Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay to the south from directly over the office. |

Ok, this was the real version of the picture at the top. |
On final approach, with a slight crosswind from the right. We're setting up for a soft-field landing as the front nose strut was not very well pressurized. |
Back on the ground - notice the front strut is compressed.
