Cessna 150 crashes near my house.
 Small Plane Crashes on 405 Freeway Embankment in Long Beach | NBC Southern California We've had one hit a house one street over years ago. AFAIK, the only plane crash deaths in Long Beach have occurred on airport property or over the ocean in our San Pedro Bay. |

I am glad the pilot walked on that one. A friend of mine does banner towing here in San Diego. He was in the plane that ditched in the bay a couple of years ago.

Most of the time the banner darggers use 25L which is south of me and the freeway bisects the flight path. There is a lot of commercial property under that flight path. 25R is directly over my house. During events like the Long Beach Grand Prix, the banner planes use both runways.

That's my usual NB off ramp. See the light pole to the left of the plane? It's been knocked down more than once. It usually lays there on the banking for a few months before CalTrans puts it back up.

have been to 2 crashes. one was a 2 seater that killed one. they left the body in the plane over night.
the other was an F-16 or 18, dont remember now. it crashed in the ocean but they had it in a hanger. i was looking for an ELT that was going off. it was kinda eary to stand there and look at the pilots seat and personal stuff sitting on a table.
