Pilot's Lounge
I recently returned from a flight to Southern California to visit friends and relatives. I always fly into KREI (Redlands). You should check it out if you're ever in that area. Just a quick hop to Big Bear Lake, 08/26 is a generous 4500 feet and always has plenty of tie-down spaces. It's also home to Hangar 24 brewery, which has made quite a name for itself in the world of beer culture. But I digress. Every time I leave the airport on foot, I get so jealous when I walk through their pilot's lounge.
I would really love to have a space reserved for local and visitor pilots at the airport, not accessible to the public. Thoughts?

WVI needs one. This should be a priority. I have trouble thinking of another airport that doesn't have one. Well, OK, I can think of a few. If I were a corporate pilot I would avoid WVI because of the poor amenities.
At least et's find a trailer that can be setup with heat and air, flight planning area and computers, obviously internet, and at least a bunch of recliners for visiting pilots.
Cheers
