Hi,

During my trip to the US - see the photos in the airliner section - I got to spend a few hours at Van Nuys airport. Here are some photos.

The airport bills itself as the busiest airport in the world, and it was rare for something not be be moving:-

There are many interesting aircraft to be seen, including this Grob Egret:-

The Cirrus VK-30 was the forerunner to the Cirrus range of aircraft that are now so popular:-

Thanks - the traffic at Van Nuys is so varied you could do a pair landing with another Cessna today, a Global Express tomorrow and maybe a 727 later in the week....
