If anyone has a friend flying, or even a commercial flight, plug in the tail number or flight number and watch the progress of the flight in real time. TONS of data available for every flight.

Way-cool website.

I've gotta' remember that one!

It's sorta' like, "You can always tell a pilot. You can't tell him much, but you can always tell a pilot."

That one still cracks me up! I think it is funny that Nissan has somewhat copied it for their commercial!

Pop is right on this one

7R and 25L are the same runway
7L and 25R are the same runway

there is also
24L which is also 6R and
24R " " " 6L


the number designates the magnetic heading ie; 25 R is on a heading of 250 deg when landing from the east to west, and during Santa Ana wind conditions LAX will use it the opposite direction which is 7L or 070 deg.

AirNav: KLAX - Los Angeles International Airport


click on the link there is an airport diagram about half way down the page at the 3 O'clock position


There is also 4 Helo approaches which are not shown on this page but on the Helo Chart for LAX and the landing pads are on the roof of the furthest west parking lot across from the front of the Tom Bradley building.

Mornin' there, Gig!

So, Oregon CAN lose a football game, huh? Since I'm not a big SC fan, I just wish Stanford coulda' done it instead.

Broke The Ducks 19 game in-conference win streak. First time SC has won a game in Oregon since '05.

Gotta get one every once in a while!

I remember when I was a kid, hearing my dad say he had two favorite college football teams. UCLA and whoever was playing USC at the time. As for the LAX runways, from an aerial view all four look to be pointing the same way. I was aware of what the 25 and 24 stood for, and upon closer inspection, he is right and I am wrong (ACK!)
