CF and NGPA member Rob W recently introduced me to the restaurant "Typhoon" at Santa Monica Airport in Los Angeles. It was a perfectly clear day, warm and sunny. The restaurant sits directly on the south tarmac offering incredible views of the runway and airport activity.

They have plenty of deck space for outdoor dining or drinking. Of course Rob W. ensured our attendance during the strict happy hour time frame.

As an added bonus NGPA member "J.M" flew over from another LA airport in his airplane to join us for drinks and appy's, although he only had diet coke, the poor guy.

I would certainly recommend Typhoon to aviation enthusiast during a nice day in L.A. when you have nothing else to do there! Great during the day and of course during fine sunsets.

But, if you fly-in remember to heed the SMO curfew at 2300.
