In the 1950s, the Air National Guard entered the jet age by replacing its propeller fleet with F-86 jets, plus built newer, more permanent facilities at the airport.

By 1957, the annual payroll of airport companies reached an impressive $43 million and the airport experienced its final name change to Van Nuys Airport. Residential growth also continued.

The City of Los Angeles Zoning Commission allowed developers to build 150 new homes in areas surrounding the airport. In 1959, completion of the Sherman Way underpass enabled extension of the main runway from 6,000 to 8,000 feet as VNY ranked 25th in operations nationwide.

Howard Hughes in 1931 The Caddo Company he owned and created. Howard built many business ventures and if the comments here held any validity by the persons actually reading from the true books of history about Howard Hughes and not myth of gossip and rumors, then you would know who Howard Hughes was. He was as a powerful man as the brothers WARNER. Warner Brothers. The studios. Read about Warner Bros. There was a sister. That sibling works for Van Nuys Airport NOW. Changer her name though.
