Santa Monica Airport Traffic

In light of yesterday's tragedy at Santa Monica Airport, I want to share with you that on Saturday, Jan. 24th at about 3:25pm witnesses saw two small airplanes flying in formation on approach to the SM Airport.  The witnesses were at Military and Clover.  The two small planes were flying parallel to one another, heading west, and just north of and parallel to National Blvd.  They were flying at a very low altitude as if they were planning to land at SM Airport.  If anyone saw these planes they are encouraged to call Santa Monica Airport's Operations and Noise Department.  Here are appropriate numbers to call:

Operations/Noise Supervisor  Stelios Makrides  (310) 434-2693
Operations/Noise Specialist  Mario Fabila  (310) 434-2640
Operations/Noise Specialist  Nikolas Gaskins  (310) 434-2665

It should be noted that stunt flying (including formation flying) is not permitted.
