Every Public Airport in California

Seems like not all that long ago my cousin, Phil Anady, and I were little kids running around playing baseball and video games together. Now we both have wives and kids of our own, as well as more ambitious goals than making the Little League All Star Team.

In addition to being a fantastic middle school teacher, Phil has been a flying planes since he was high school. During a recent visit I was blessed to have with Phil and the rest of the Anady family in California, he told me about his incredible goal of landing at every public airport in the state of California. At first the idea seemed pretty daunting; then I checked out the blog he keeps to log his adventures, and I realized that daunting didn't even begin to describe the magnitude of the endeavor.

Below is a link to his blog, complete with maps, stunning pictures from his plane, and information about his current projects. My hat is off to Phil in his exciting adventure and I wish him the best of luck. Check it out for yourself:

About The Pilot and Mission

The Pilot

I started flying when I was 16 years old, soloed at 17 with 16 hours of flight time and eventually finished my training and passed the private pilot checkride at the age of 20 with about 64 total hours of training. I learned to fly at Cable Airport in a Cessna 152. I currently rent and fly a Cessna 172 out of French Valley and a Cessna 162 Skycatcher located at Hemet Ryan Airport. My “day job” is teaching middle school math and science therefore aviation is purely a hobby and passion for me but my long term goals are to earn an instrument and commercial rating and eventually become a part-time Certified Flight Instructor.
