PORTER RANCH, CA
I like to mix up my reviews. Call me a bit of an airplane groupie. I love to fly and I admire aircrafts (blame it on my family who would take me to airshows as a kid). There’s something very relaxing about sitting still and seeing all these things happen around you.
This is a cool little spot. Once my son gets old enough I am going to be excited to bring him here. There are a few benches and plane cutouts kids can play with. Cool to see tiny propeller planes to private jets to helicopters.

A great way to spend time with your family and Not to mention FREE. They have little Croats airplane cut outs. And the view is amazing. I recommend you try this out. It will bring parents some sanity. You might want to consider ear muffs or plugs. Sometimes certain planes are louder than normal when they pass by after or before landing. Sunscreen and some snacks are a good idea too.

Unmatched vantage point to watch the large variety of aircraft movement at KVNY.
This visit was a little unusual in that the airport playground was closed and the parking area has become overrun by buses and limos. We lucked out to get an open spot, but those that arrived just after us did not.

..A nice place to take any airplane enthusiast of any age to get a near look at those jets and great piston powered aircraft. There’s tables for eating and a section for the little ones to go play. Or better yet, sit next to a special someone as the sun sets.
