I was a working pilot for many years, and on an instrument approach (in bad
weather) there is something called the Decision Height, the altitude at
which you either have the runway environment in sight, or you have to go
around, usually about 200 feet above ground. At Chino, you don't need an
altimeter, just your nose. At 200 feet, it smells like you just descended
into a sewer.

>For those of you non Southern Californians, being in Chino is like being on
a cow ranch. In other words, don't go if you have a sensitive nose.....
I was working for KCBS doing a live shot from Chino airport. Coming from New
Orleans odd smells are pretty common but I have to say Chino beats a Bourbon
Street gutter in 90 degree weather during Mardi Gras...but really it's not
that bad and I never knew Chino was the cow capital of SoCal.
