Oh yeah drop by Pollo Loco too. :)
HA HA HA
I lived in LA (well the San Fernando Valley) for two years way back forever ago.
I was gonna suggest the same things you've been too.
There are car cruises all over the Valley on the weekends.
If you like planes, if they are still even there, there used to be a little "Squadron" of WW2-era T-6 Texans out at the Van Nuys Airport, they had a few still painted up like Japanese Zeros way back from the Black Sheep Squadron TV show.
Also in Chino, they have a bunch of old Warbirds. |

Location: Texas | AJ, I’ve always wanted to see the Spruce Goose at Evergreen. Ditto on the In-N-Out. I prefer the dining in experience. Enjoy.

AJ, San Diego has a pretty nice aviation museum if you are inclined to make the trip there from LA. |

Rumor has it he may soon be. |

Location: Sydney, Australia | AJ, just remember a primary purpose of this trip is to REDUCE the number of gits you own in the US, not increase the number!
I can see you returning with a couple and having a greater number in storage over there. |
