Much of the history of aviation in the United States took off from Southern California more than a century ago.

The pioneering spirit of Los Angeles and surrounding cities created an industry that continues to this day. You can see much of this history at the Santa Paula Airport in Ventura County. 

"The SoCal Scene" takes a ride and learns about the storied airfield.
