Planes

One of the joys of Santa Monica is planes flying overhead. Just to the south is LAX, so you see all kinds of trans-Pacific big beasts. And just to the east is Santa Monica Airport, so you have small private planes flying directly over you. This is all best seen from the beach, of course.

What prompted me to write this post just now is that I just walked out of the apartment and heard a distinct big jet sound above. It sounded like a lumbering 747. I thought, "that's gotta be a 74." And once I got clear of the trees and looked up...sure enough! 74, on downwind for LAX!
