I have a 16 year old that is very interested in flying. Can anyone
recommend aviation related sightseeing destinations in Southern
California? I am thinking of things like museums, Air force bases,
etc.

I did a fair bit of consulting work with Boeing (previously
McDonnell-Douglas, previously Douglas) in Long Beach, located right by
the Long Beach airport (KLGB). I don't know if they give guided tours
of the facilities (it's a little city in itself), but when I was there
in the late 1990's there was quite a lot of interest visible just from
Lakewood Blvd., including big MD-11's sitting just behind a fence.


All the best,


David
