Flying into the Los Angeles area at night presents the pilot and passengers with an aerial view of millions of homes, cars and billboards lighting up the ground. If you haven't had an opportunity to experience the flight in person, this video takes you on the Sadde Six Arrival over Thousand Oaks, Malibu, Santa Monica, downtown Los Angeles and Watts, and onto the approach to and landing on Runway 24R at the Los Angeles International Airport. After the landing, the video continues along an extended taxi through LAX to the gate. The video is appropriately accompanied by Sugarcult's song Los Angeles.
