First time to Van Nuys today - flew in for a special meeting. The folks at PentaStar Aviation were VERY friendly and accommodating. After the meeting we borrowed the crew car and went to the 94th Squadron for lunch. we did buy a little fuel, as much as the little RV6 would hold after only an hour flight. There were no charges for use of one of their conference rooms or the crew car. I would highly recommend this FBO if you have occasion to visit Van Nuys.

Being the busiest GA airport in the country I'm surprised by the lack of comments! Flew in today for lunch in a C172. We parked it at Skytrails which is way at the south end of the field and the tie-down is $25 but they were very nice and loaned us the club car to head upfield to 94th aero squadron for lunch. Not a bad place to fly in to if your comfortable talking to controllers.
