Usually there are from 3 to a dozen interesting historic aircraft on display with owner\/pilots waiting to talk about their planes and tell engaging\u00a0stories of the adventures they have had in aviation. these are the kind of stories that may start a young would-be pilot on the journey into\u00a0flying.<\/p>\n<p>Here at Van Nuys airport we are interested in up-ing the game. The February Display Day falls on the 21st this month and we have just confirmed that\u00a0the Los Angeles Fire Department, Air Operations will\u00a0provide one of their monster rescue helicopters for display at the event!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/aviationav.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_1173.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-85\" src=\"http:\/\/aviationav.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_1173-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1173\" width=\"474\" height=\"355\" srcset=\"http:\/\/aviationav.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_1173-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/aviationav.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_1173-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As the manager of display day activities I am looking to add to the value and excitement to\u00a0these events and this helicopter display is something you don&#8217;t want to miss!<\/p>\n<p>So save the date and pay us a visit. There&#8217;s nothing\u00a0that paints a smile on a child&#8217;s face (with the possible exception of an ice cream sundae) quite like\u00a0sitting in the cockpit of a real airplane and talking about flying with an enthusiastic pilot!<\/p>\n<p>Saturday February 21st from 10AM until 2PM. Turn East on Stagg Street from Balboa and follow the signs&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>By the way, I&#8217;ll be covering the event as moderator of Aviation Audio Video on the Road and hopefully give you even more perspective on what Display Day is like. \u00a0But come and Join us this month if you can.<\/p>\n<p>For more information visit <a href=\"http:\/\/vnyprop.org\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/vnyprop.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Hope to see you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Historic Aircraft\u00a0Display Day is a great opportunity to introduce the public to aviation while benefitting owners of private aircraft.
