HistoryOn Dec. 17, 1928, the 25th anniversary of the Wright Brothers' first flight - VNY was born as Metropolitan Airport through the establishment of a corporation by a small group of citizens. In 1949, the City of Los Angeles purchased the airport from the U.S. War Assets Administration for the token fee of $1, with the agreement that the California Air National Guard base continue to operate at the site. The name of the airport, which by then covered 400 acres, changed to San Fernando Valley Airport.
