A Look at Pilot Gary H.'s Letters to Trenton Middle School
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
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
