The Braxton Stuntz Foundation hosted its 7th annual toy drive in Salinas yesterday, giving about 2,000 toys to children in need to honor Braxton Stuntz who died in Big Sur.

Joby accepted its first CAE flight simulator today at its Marina training center, a move that will boost pilot training for 250 trainees per year once FAA reviews are complete — the step advances plans for commercial air taxi operations with a future Dubai route.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said yesterday that the state will maintain its full immunization schedule for children after the CDC scaled back vaccine recommendations — a plan matched by the West Coast Health Alliance, which includes Oregon, Washington and Hawaii, to follow American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines.
