      some local from United States writes:

      I'd like to point out that the nearest airport to Shirley Meadows is in Bakersfield. It's a small one though. For big planes the nearest airport would be in Los Angeles. Saying that, San Francisco being remotely close to the location of Shirley Meadows is false lol. Get your facts straight! Source: I'm a local in the area.
