This week started with a bang!
We were over at Steve Postell’s cutting electric guitars for Jimmy McKeever’s new album, when we heard a rash of sirens blasting by Steve’s house in peaceful Santa Monica. I stepped out of the studio to catch one of them flying past, and it had HAZMAT written all over it. We knew it had to be a plane that went down, so off we three went for a look see.
A small plane had crashed into a house just a block from Steve’s, and less than that from Penmar Golf Course. The pilot and the gardners appeared to be okay. The rookie flyer was practicing touch and go landings when he clipped a tree and hit the house about a block from the end of the runway. I hope he goes back there and thanks that tree for breaking his fall!
Why is Clover Field airport still there?
