FROM THE ADOPT-A-PILOT CREW: Following is a an excerpt from Pilot Gary H.'s letters to his students. This is a great example of how "adopted" Pilots correspond with their classes while away. We'd love to hear from more Pilots and classes on how you stay connected. Tell us by clicking on "Share A Story" or send us an e-mail at adoptapilot@wnco.com.

 

Hi Students!

 

Today I am writing you from the "City by the Bay." This city was home to the most devasting earthquake in U.S. history in 1906. It boasts a professional football team and a professional baseball team (two of each if you count nearby Oakland); an infamous (but no longer used) federal prison known as “the rock;” and one of the most well known bridges in the world – the Golden Gate Bridge.

This city is one of America's hilliest cities with steep roadways and streetcars. You see images of this city almost every day in commercials, TV shows, and movies. Can you guess the name of this city? 

It is in the state known as the "Golden State.”   Maybe you want to use the Internet to find out more about this fascinating town and some of the amazing places you can see here – like those I mentioned above or even Lombard Street, Fisherman’s Wharf, and the TransAmerica building. I always like spending time in this town because it is so beautiful.

To get here, I started in LIT and flew the following legs:

 

LIT      to         DAL

DAL    to         SAT

SAT     to         LAX

LAX    to         ???

Make sure you draw the legs, figure out the mileage, and add up the total for the day! On Friday, I will be in class to talk to you about this city and some of the most interesting places in America. I will also be checking out mileage totals, and going over your first assignment. i will write you another letter tomorrow night from another city in the Southwest Airlines system!

Your Pilot - Gary
