Los Angeles is a pretty big place. Do you have any idea where you are
staying? The two airports I would recommend are about 50 miles (100 klicks)
from Los Angeles International and to the best of my knowledge there isn't
any public transport between LAX and either KCNO or KAJO.

KCNO (Chino) is a homebuilder/warbird heaven. You might want to go to
www.airnav.com and dial in KCNO in the "Airports" page. Navigate the page
and you will find a whole bunch of comments about the airport and resident
aircraft.

KAJO (Corona) is more for just plain old general aviation. Real friendly
folks. Both AJO and CNO have really good on-field restaurants. Aircraft
Spruce and Specialty is a hop skip and jump away from the airport.

If you have wheels, I can think of a few more that would interest you. If
you don't, I'd find a good motel in the Corona area and make that my Los
Angeles headquarters. Like Oshkosh, you can't see one tenth of what you
would like to see in three days.

Hello everybody.

I am travelling to Las Vegas (from Australia) in March for a work
conference but have three full days in Los Angeles. I thought that I
would use the opportunity to do some flying and maybe even take
advantage of some unusual types that you wouldn’t and couldn’t find in
my part of the world. I considered some Aerobatic training (with an
instructor just for fun) and maybe a helicopter trial flight just to see
the city from the air. I’ve had a look at the web but it’s hard to get a
feel for your industry when it’s so different and so far away. It would
be great if anybody could give me personal recommendations for
schools/instructor to have a fly with. If I’m going to do a touristy
flight does anybody have any specific route recommendations?

This will be my first time to the USA so I’m looking forward to it
immensely.
