My ole stomping grounds....
It's 45 miles from Fox Field - I new student pilots who would run down there thinking they were completing their short cross country, the FAA says 50 miles...
To remedy that you'd have to take off from Fox, fly 10 minutes to the north, do a touch and go at Rosemond and then head to Van Nuys...
I loved landing on 16L and having a T-6 or P-51 or F-5 along side of me landing on 16R..
Airtel and of course the 94th Aero Squadron were the great places for the $100.00 hamburger....
