The County of Los Angeles is developing an Airport Master Plan for Whiteman Airport.  An important plan objective is to incorporate improvements that are felt needed by exising and future airport users.  To this end, the County wants your comments by way of an online survey.  To offer your input to the County as an airport user, click here to fill out the survey. 
Whiteman Airport Association member Anne Marie Radel has just written and recorded a wonderful song, "See Her Fly."  It's a big MP3 file and takes a while to load and play in your default MP3 file software. But it's well worth it!  A talented lady with a great message.

The Whiteman Airport Association is an alliance between Whiteman tenants, American Airports Corporation management, Los Angeles County, the Whiteman Control Tower and the Pacoima area community.  The goal is to keep the airport open and operating efficiently and safely.  It will enable all parties concerned with the airport to work together toward that goal.

Here are the Association's bylaws.

The organization is based, for the most part, on AOPA's suggested guidelines for organizing an airport group.
