After a 90- minute flight, he{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(着陆) at Oakland Airport and drives to his company. The{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(整个的) trip takes him about 3 hours.

    Von Badinski pays the airline 2, 300 dollars monthly so that he can fly{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(自由地) at any time to and from San Francisco.
