LA Observed ^ | Jan. 28, 2011 | Kevin Roderick

A small jet slides into the safety area at the side of the runway on takeoff, with no injuries: who cares.

Men with plastic sheeting rush out and cover the words Policia Federal: now we're intrigued. The plane is registered in Mexico.

KTLA's helicopter observed the operation as it unfolded.

VAN NUYS — A twin-engine jet plane aborted a takeoff and skidded off a runway at Van Nuys Airport on Friday but the three people aboard escaped injury, authorities said.

The Mexican-registered Falcon jet was taking off from the San Fernando Valley airport on a flight to Tucson when it aborted the flight at about 1:15 p.m., said Ian Gregor, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration.

The plane stopped about 75 feet off the end of a runway in a runway safety area, he said.

Televised reports showed black skid marks leading from halfway down the runway into the dirt safety area.

Three people aboard the plane were unhurt, airport spokeswoman Diana Sanchez said.

The accident closed the airport’s only functioning runway until the plane could be moved, Sanchez said. A second runway already was closed for construction.

The cause of the accident remained under investigation.

It was not immediately clear who owned the plane. Men near the plane covered up its markings with what appeared to be plastic sheeting.

However, KTLA’s Skycam 5 got a clear shot of the markings that read, “Policia Federal” or Federal Police.

Van Nuys Airport is heavily used by private, corporate and government aircraft.

I hope it was Arnold Shitseneggars plane and I hope he hurt himself. He’s a scumbag and I hope he develops another hole in his heart for the crap he pulled while being one of the worst governors in Cali. He’s not republican. he’s a eurotrash liberal.

Good grief. The Mexicans even put Bondo on their airplanes. Not surprising, when you really think about it.

I bet the pilot can bounce the nose with a cockpit button, too.

Hard to keep the plane on the runway when the lowrider suspension kit makes it bounce.

It is the nature of airports to take planes from foreign parts. That's not too unusual. I think they covered up the lettering so they could patch up the damage without having to tell anyone back home that they had an accident. Not quickly enough, though. The cat's out of the bag. This will come out of their salaries.

Solid theory. I’m leaning towards a movie prop plane headed to a film shoot in AZ. Why the rush to cover the lettering? IDK.
