Caltech Aero Club

[Caltech from the air]
Today I went up on a demo ride with the Caltech Aero Club, which is based at the nearby El Monte airport (EMT), a cute general aviation airport a few miles from here. If I were staying in Pasadena I'd be mighty tempted to take up flying lessons with them. Here's a photo of the Caltech campus as seen out the window of Cessna 172 N19760 this afternoon.

The airport looks to have a pretty good diner too, Annia's Kitchen.

That's what I assumed, too, but so far I haven't found anything in Louisiana.

As far as the complicated airspace... they like to spin that as a positive, as in "if you can fly here you can fly anywhere!"

This looks like a pretty good flying club directory: Landings: Flying Club Directory (http://www.landings.com/evird.acgi$pass*98008913!_h-www.landings.com/_landings/pages/flying_clubs.html#loc-usa).
