I think it was a UPS/FedEx flight map or something but flying short-hop cargo across Las Angeles is done daily.

Traffic was so bad in LA..or volume is so great..
or maybe it's just bulk overflow and empty airplanes needing cargo with discount rates available perhaps..

Instead of sending out trailers across town:
It appeared to be actually cheaper to load air freight at a local sort hub, drive it to the LAX airport, load it on a plane, fly it 10 miles to the next airport, drive it to a sort hub on a trailer, unload sort and distribute it to package cars, and have them deliver it to individual addresses.
