Nope, the city and the Encino home owner's association took over.

The city tore down the National Guard hangars and put up a site for the LAFD choppers.

The EHOA complained that the Friday to Monday shows were too loud.
The planes would fly in on FRI, the airshow would take place on Sat and Sun and the HUGE day was MONDAY!

The planes would take off and the pilots would ask for a flyby-

"ANG 21 requests permission to do a flyby?"

"ANG 21? Permisson granted."

The F14/18/16/A6/C131 would do a lap and pass over the runway!
One of the coolest was the KC 135 plane with two jets as escort fly over.

Every pilot would wag wing and a few would hit the afterburners halfway down......If you like noise???

I can see their point, but what's a few days of the sound of freedom?
