Very informative. Can't wait for then next. I should be the first to hate KSMO since if your on glide slope into 21 you would be 800' over the house I grew up in and where my parents still live. But it only sparked my interest in aviation and I have been flying my whole life out of KSMO. It's beyond important to keep it and every single resident in Santa Monica and LA should listen to this.
