Website viewer Kriss Larson of Aliso Viejo took this shot from a plane
departing John Wayne.
The view is looking north from over her community. The 5 freeway is seen cutting diagonally across the photo, with the El Toro Y just below and to the left of the base.
Planes landing at El Toro would have to pass under the plane on which Kriss was flying, and over thousands of homes built or under development.
The September 1, 2000 photo is clear evidence that planes from John Wayne are cutting across South County communities like Laguna Niguel and Aliso Viejo.
