Looks like my kid got into the state science fair. It's located at the California Science Center in South Central, at the end of next month (April).
So, now I get to plan an airplane trip. Thoughts are SMO (interesting town) or HHR (easier airport). BUT, it's becoming marine layer season, and neither airport has good instrument approaches. So, IF there is low IMC, the best options appear to be LGB, TOA, and BUR, all of which have ILSs and decent LPVs. I'm presuming LAX is out of my price range, and CPM seems to have nothing going for it at all.
The Science Center does not look easy to get to, except perhaps via Uber or rental car. The Metrolink doesn't go anywhere near it, and RTD has never been useful. Hotels used to be scarce except right next to LAX. Is that still true?
I'll probably be in a Cardinal RG or something similar.
Advice from locals?
