Cessna Citation X. I have always loved her lines.

These were taken during a post-maintenance test flight aboard a Dassault Falcon 2000. I really wished I had a better camera at the time. The pic of the Lufthansa 747 passing under us (we were at FL410) en route to LAX an…

What’s the urban legend about black, CIA helicopters? Probably not true. But this Bell looks pretty awesome, nonetheless.

I enjoy working on Falcons. Especially the tri-jet models like this Falcon 50. She reminds me of the Lockheed L1011. Last pic is looking forward through the #2 engine S-duct intake.

One of the many Texans that frequent Van Nuys Airport (KVNY).

I like turboprop aircraft.

Just flew over our hangar.

Later model Learjet. Still has “the look”.

A Global 7500 with a very clean livery. Picturesque but not too fancy.

Bellanca Super Decathlon. Looks like a fun plane to fly.

A Gulfstream G450 being towed.

Apparently this bird is a film & television star, appearing in several episodes of “NCIS” and “CSI”. She was also featured in the movie “Step Brothers”.

She no longer flies, but lives on to teach new generations of A&P mechanics at NVOC. In fact, this is the only aircraft at NVOC that still has a fully operational engine.

Van Nuys Airport is home to several of these beauties. The T-6 is a pretty common sight here.

I thought the tail registry number was funny. “Cool plane?” “Eh…” 😁

Rumor has it that this Global Express has a famous owner.

Another plane of unconventional design. The Cirrus Vision Jet is definitely interesting to look at.

It was the Genie on the tail that caught my eye.

Really cool looking helicopter. Seen at Camarillo Airport (KCMA).

1946 DC-3D departing out of KBUR.
