The city's ideal weather and protected bay allowed San Diego to have an aviation history unrivaled by any local community. From the pioneering days of Glenn Curtiss and naval aviation at North Island to the present cutting-edge aerospace technology, Aviation in San Diego captures it all. With many never-before-published photographs, Aviation in San Diego documents the people and events that made San Diego's aviation heritage unique. From Ryan to Consolidated, Curtiss to Lindbergh, and everything in between, Aviation in San Diego is the preeminent photographic record of flight in "America's Finest City." Pacific Southwest Airlines Flight 182 was a scheduled flight on September 25, 1978, by Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA), from Sacramento to San Diego (SAN), with a stopover at Los Angeles (LAX). The aircraft serving the flight, a Boeing 727-214 (registration: #N533PS), collided mid-air with a private Cessna 172 (light aircraft; #N7711G) over San Diego, California. It was Pacific Southwest Airlines' first fatal accident, and it remains the deadliest air disaster in California history. At the time, it was the deadliest air crash to occur in the United States, and remained so until the crash of American Airlines Flight 191 in May 1979. Following their collision, both the Boeing and the Cessna crashed into North Park, a residential but urban Uptown neighborhood located roughly three miles northwest of Downtown San Diego. PSA 182 crashed just north of the intersection of Dwight and Nile Streets, killing all 135 people aboard the aircraft as well as seven bystanders on the ground or residents in their homes, including two children. The Cessna struck Polk Avenue, between 32nd and Iowa Streets, killing the two pilots on board. Nine others on the ground were injured, and a total of 22 residences were destroyed or damaged by the impact and debris. FREE scheduling, supersized images and templates.
