Now for some facts - visual approaches in ORD? 1.0 mile lateral seperation.
JFK 31's? 1.0 mile. JFK 4's? .6 lateral seperation.
MIA 8's? .15

"But, but, but...." :mad:

I think SNA is the worst. You have student pilots overshooting 19L, a short runway, helicopters on both sides of the field, news choppers over the 405, NIMBYs who hate jet noise but want the convenience of their airport, and when you go around you have 20 planes between 3500 and 5000 feet over the shoreline. I have been able to determine what kind of headset the guy in the overshooting Cessna was wearing.
