AVIATORS: While former astronaut Buzz Aldrin and 11-year-old globe-circling pilot Tony Aliengena ride in downtown Santa Ana as marshals in Saturday’s Times Orange County Holiday Parade (perhaps somewhere near the float of Popeye show character “Eugene Jeep,” above), Orange County’s most storied aviator plans to spend a quiet day at home. . . .
