Hijacked Cessna 172 Ended Up in the Side of a Hangar After Failed Taxi Attempt An early-morning aircraft theft at Van Nuys Airport (VNY) ended quickly, and surprisingly without leaving the ground, when a stolen LA Flight Academy Cessna 172 crashed into the side of a hangar. Authorities say the training aircraft struck the building while taxiing, causing damage to both the airplane and the hangar but leaving everyone unharmed.
