The Japan Airlines Pilot Training Center in Napa. Equipped with a fleet of Bonanzas and Barons, JAL had been using this facility to give prospective pilots their primary flight training for many years. However, with the financial collapse of JAL, unfortunately this establishment was abandoned. It is still strange not hearing all the Japanese voices on the CTAFs in the Bay Area.
