LOS ANGELES — Community members in Pacoima are calling for the closure of Whiteman Airport.

They say it’s dangerous for people who live in the area because of recent crashes.

There have been three plane crashes since November 2020, but advocates say the airport offers educational programs that would be lost if it shuts down.
