Well I did a long weekend in LA this weekend and spent one of the days hitting some of Southern California's smaller airports. There quite a few odd and interesting aircraft out there.
KVCV
KSBD San Berdino
This airport is a ghost town. The city put lots of money into it to try to get air service including a new terminal, parking lots, hangers, etc. But its sitting there useless. There still is a company that does 727 maintenance there but the 7 727s I saw looked like they havn't moved in years.
L65 Perris Valley Airport
This DC-9-21 is very interesting. There were only ten of this type made for SAS and this is the only one left. I believe its the -10 frame but with the -30 series wings and engines which give it very good short field capability. The runway here is almost 5000 feet long but only 50 feet wide. I wish it was flying but only the Twin Otters were.
KHMT Hemet Airport
I have more and will be adding more to my flickr as well. Of course some LAX stuff too
