I used to live in Long Beach on Heather Ave...it lined right up with the runway just beyond the freeway. The planes came in so low that I thought they'd hit our roof.

Lots of PSA & Seaplanes back then.

I flew on AA last year out of Long Beach Airport. You have a better chance of drowning in your own bathtub than you do of dying in a plane crash.
