The F-4 Phantom II was a two-seat, tandem, twin engine, all weather, long range, supersonic, interceptor fighter. It was first used by the Navy in 1960 (5,000+ built from 1958-1981). It was used extensively in the Vietnam War by the US Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force. In 1996, the F-4 Phantom II was retired from service.

Route:
Channel Islands Blvd., Ventura Blvd., Sufside, Port Hueneme Rd., Highway 1 S, Leo Carrillo State Park
I left Hampton Inn at 11:30 am after a leisurely in-house breakfast on the way to Leo Carrillo State Park. At midnight the USA government shut down so I cannot complain too much. The room was luxurious and spacious. I got a good night's rest.
The ride on this day was a short 23 mile ride. I started on Channel Island Blvd. And eventually turned right on Ventura Blvd. This turned into Surfside and after a while turned right on Port Hueneme Rd. I basically followed it until it reconnected with Highway 1 S about 12 miles from Oxnard. I went past Port Hueneme's and Point Mogu's air and navy military installations. The roads had moderate shoulders with light traffic so it was no problem.
Highway 1 hugged the beach and the ocean was very benign. The route was essentially flat with a few small hills. Shoulders were moderate or wide to keep some separation from the light traffic. A few miles before my destination, I stopped for lunch at the Neptune's Net, a seafood market and eatery, the only place to have a bite in the area.
This fairly easy ride ended on the outskirts of Los Angeles. The scenery included a mix of Spanish architecture, palm trees, surfing beaches, a national park, and the historic Buenaventura Mission. There is a duality to this area. Beautiful sand covered beaches with views of offshore oil rigs and the Channel Islands. A wilderness peninsula is located at the sprawling edge of the megalopolis which is Los Angeles.
