Many years ago, we purchased a home in Carlsbad, using a realtor that was recommended to us - Jim Klinge. Fast forward to 2025, we recently had the privilege of selling 2 homes in Carlsbad, CA and didn't hesitate to reach out to Jim and Donna Klinge of Klinge Realty Group to guide us through the sales. The transactions were very different, each with its own unique situation, opportunities and challenges. From start to finish, Donna and Jim helped navigate the pre-sale preparation, the listing, showing of the house, buyer negotiations, the final close and all of the paperwork and decisions in between. What stands out with both transactions is the professionalism of Jim and Donna (and their team), wonderful communication (timely, relevant, concise), their deep understanding of market dynamics (setting realistic expectations), their access to top-notch contractors, and last, their ability to guide us across the finish line successfully. We wouldn't hesitate to use Jim and Donna in the future and highly recommend them for anyone looking to buy or sell a property in North San Diego County.
We took the kids on Saturday when it was warm and sunny. I was pleasantly surprised at how much fun the kids had walking throughout the planes. They did really well navigating the tight interiors of the planes. The landing pattern they chose had them flying right above our house the whole time they were in town.
These planes are instruments of war designed to deliver maximum destruction. But they are so beautiful and majestic to observe during peace time. I am so glad we got out there to check them out…..best $40 spent in a long time.
From the title and expected to see a video featuring large houses in Carlsbad.
Edit: replace and with I
Flying death traps. It was no wonder that in the photos you see of the kids that flew them, they looked like ghosts. The belly turret was the worst. First thing the Germans aimed for. Took an astounding amount of guts to fly them in regimented formation over Germany. Its a great service to fly those planes around the country now, giving younger people a real idea of what the stakes were when the world was on fire. Thanks for the vid, Jim!
@Genius LOL me too! 😀
I try to be witty with the headlines, thanks for noticing.
Thanks for the video, JtR. I’ve been reading Unbroken by Laura Hillebrand about Louie Zamperini and this helps me better understand the tight conditions the WWII flyers worked under. Yikes! I don’t know why I didn’t look for videos before, but thanks again for posting yours.
Daytrip….research showed that the belly ball turret was the safest place on the plane: http://freepages.military.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~josephkennedy/sperry_ball_turret.htm
