Surprised none has mentioned Victorville, KVCV yet. It has a cool line up of aircraft in storage. DC10, B727, B737 Classics, an odd TriStar. Millionaire FBO was nice too with a mini-golf set to play with. Hawthorne, KHHR next to LAX is very charming, a small runway in the midst of LA traffic. There is the shopping mall parking and next is the perimeter fence. Ramona, KRNM is another favorite of mine. Seen lots of students doing their first solo there, sitting on a warm tarmac enjoying the afternoon sun. The scenery is stunning. Chuck Hall Aviation is a very friendly rendezvous point and ole' Chuck himself will gladly show the ins and outs of his fine P51 Mustang.
