LOS ANGELES—With bright sunshine, warm temperatures and a deep blue sky, Friday was the kind of Southern California day made for just about anything. For Mary Falstrom, a longtime pilot, that meant flying.
She told her husband where she was headed, and that was the last he saw of her. Hours later came news that aut
horities believe two small planes collided in the skies off San Pedro, just outside Los Angeles Harbor.
She loved flying. It was a passion.
