The latest FAA dataset has this airport's id as "54X", but that could be a mistake on their part. They've made worse mistakes in the past.

I remember many evenings spent in LAX terminal 2 in the late 1990s, waiting to catch the red-eye back to Toronto to connect on to Ottawa and get back to my young family. I hear a lot of horror stories about LAX and Air Canada now, but back then, before the merger with Canadian, Air Canada never left me stranded or let me down. I'd fight my way back to LAX from Long Beach through the rush-hour traffic, drop off my rental car, then find a plug, huddle in a safe warm corner, and work on my computer for a few hours, generally grabbing a bite from the Wolfgang Puck franchise restaurant thingy and happy knowing that I was on the first stage of my trip home.

I've been through terminal 2 a few times since, but not for the red-eye. Air Canada still generally leaves on time, but I'm not rushing back to young kids and a tired spouse any more, so it's more leisurely, and the terminal is just another dingy terminal.

Pemnerton Airport is a " Down Home Type " Airport, and is a great place to visit. The Pilots, and regular folks are very nice. Jim 47N

Two blocks north of the airport is the Beach Boys Monument. Leaving the Millionaire FBO at the east end of the airport, turn left (north) on Crenshaw, walk the half block to 120th St., cross it and turn left. Pass the freeway entrance ramp and turn right (north) on Kornblum Ave. The monument, on the site of the Beach Boys' childhood home, is two blocks up, where Kornblum ends at the freeway, 3701 W. 119th St., Hawthorne, CA.

I use to work at the original Berz Airport off maple rd in the 60's as a teenager for Milt Jr. and his Dad , who we all called "Pappy" he was a great man to work for and I think Sharon was the girl that use to talk to all the pilots. There was another elderly man that use to make coffee in the mornings for all the people that use to just hang out in the terminal, but can't remember his name right now. My father bought into a piper 180 and had it in a hanger, I myself use to fuel the plane and wash them I really enjoyed working there , except when we had to get up at 2 am in the morning and plow the runways because to much snow fallin that night.
