Landing Patterns
| | We watch them descend toward a small airport grown from hobbyists hotshots and crop dusters for the groves that lined the valleys like green carpet spotted with orange after World War II. The groves are long gone and small jets now bring executives from Japan and Silicone Valley to business parks in gleaming hi-tech buildings soon to be left behind in the onward rush of cause and effect. The first hotshots and barnstormers had been pilots in WWI and flew loop-de-loops for picnicking families in fields out of town on Sundays, stood in soup lines and marched to D.C. for food in ‘32. No work for warriors after the war, they camped on the National Mall as generations have, looking for someplace to land in America. | |
