I'm planning a trip to the Los Angeles area tomorrow (12-2), but am
not sure which airport I want to use. The flight will originate from the Modesto area, and I'll be doing it in a C-152. I've never been down that way, so I'm at a total loss as to which airport is best. I want some place thats both easy to get in and out of, as well as scenery rich. Van Nuys looks good, but it's super busy, so it may end up more effort than it's worth. All I plan on doing is stopping to get fuel and maybe some lunch, and then head back. Burbank also looks good, as I recently flew into there last week on an airline, and judging from seeing planes takeoff and land, it didn't seem very busy. Anyone have any suggestions? El Monte (EMT). Go to FAST Aviation. Look in airnav.com for comments on the airports you are thinking of. Van Nuys and Burbank are all expensive, and cater to jets. El Monte is very GA friendly, and FAST is not expensive. If you stay overnight, they charge a $5 parking fee... good for an entire week (of coming and going, or staying). I learned to fly there, and go there every time I come to the area (from Santa Rosa) and have been happy. There's also a nice airport restaurant on the field, it's maybe a thousand feet North of FAST (which is near the southern end of the field). Jose -- You can choose whom to befriend, but you cannot choose whom to love. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |
