Van Nuys Airport
The control tower,dedicated in 1968. Van Nuys Airport is the biggest general aviation airport in the world with an 8,000 foot runway, I believe the photo below is the original tower,but I am not certain. At the bottom of this page,I have links to other sights about Van Nuys Airport.

Practicing with the hoist harness - the helicopter below smelled of fresh donuts for some reason
When the wind starts blowing,Los Angeles leases these Canadair water bombers from French Quebec. The day I was there the pilots were all on alert eating donuts and speaking French.
These aircraft originally came with piston engines but are now manufactured with jet turbine engines. During the Malibu fires,these aircraft picked up water directly from the ocean.
94th Aero Squadron Restaurant - thats what I call a REAL hole in the wall joint! Great food,right on the runway nice outdoor and indoor bar,fireplaces - shown below too. It looks like a World War One airfield in France - except for the Jeep.

Ex navy A-3 Sky Warriors now used to test electronics for Raytheon. The A-3 tail in the middle has strange protuberances,probably infra-red detectors. These aircraft are extremely noisy.
