LAX?

In the 1960s and even into the mid-1970s those of us who were airline
pilots based at LAX could fly light singles into LAX and park on our
airline's maintenance ramp (not the passenger terminal ramp).


(Why) did it stop?

The airline maintenance ramp became too crowded, although it could still
be done with prior permission on some occasions; that is, until 911.
That pretty much ended it.

I agree with the other respondents: if you're going for practical
reasons rather than the coolness factor you should fly into Hawthorne
instead. But if you want to fly to LAX it's not really a big deal
(except that you need to be on top of your game). It's probably a good
idea to phone the tower ahead of time to get the latest procedures and
let them know you're coming.

Nope. Strictly practical reasons. I just hate driving in the LA Basin.
I appreciate the feedback and I think I'll go with Hawthorne.
