After taking off from Brackett Field in La Verne Tuesday, a twin engine Piper PA-23 Apache crashed into the side of a hill in East Shore RV Park in San Dimas.
Brackett Field was busier than usual Saturday, when the Cal-Rods Car Club of the San Gabriel Valley hosted its annual Hot Rods and Airplanes Championships.
Last week's decision by the Department of Homeland Security to lower the national terror threat level from "high" to "elevated" had no significant impact on La Verne's security preparation.
Michael Nestoff, 50, of La Palma lost his life Tuesday afternoon when his two-seater airplane crashed into horse stables on Fairplex property in Pomona.
Although it may seem at times that, because the geographical area of La Verne is so small, you have been everywhere and done everything; there are actually quite a few unique places to visit within just a 30-mile radius.
