Not anymore.

Last time I checked the City owned the airport proper, Vaught Corp. bought out all the adjacent aircraft-producing property and was developing it a piece at a time.

There was a proposal to turn the airport into a giant shopping mall. It was pointed out that 1) The Hawthorn Mall was sitting empty and 2) if they did, LAX traffic would no longer stay north of the 105.

I learned to fly there, with the A&E Flying Club.
