Oxnard has an airport called Oxnard Airport. Although Oxnard is close to Los Angeles, California, it does not draw very many people from that area due to the fact that the only destination out of Oxnard is Los Angeles International Airport.
There are only two skyscrapers in Oxnard, on Vineyard Avenue, both next to each other. The tallest one is a blue Morgan Stanley skyscraper[1] (http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=129335), and the smaller, shorter one is a gray City National Bank tower[2] (http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=204870).
