I used to live somewhat below the flight path of John Wayne Airport and have traveled in and out of that as well as Burbank. I don't think either of them have much of a buffer zone particularly at the end of the runways. I think John Wayne also has a busy street and office buildings down at the end and the 5 freeway at the beginning of the runway. Nothing quite like being on the 405 when a jumbo jet flies overhead on final.

I used to drive that freeway a lot and I would time my approach if I saw a jet on final about to cross over so I could drive under it. lol
Always loved to watch planes from the times we went to LAX and sat at the end of the runway when you could still do that! Now we'd probably be arrested.
