Now this is weird, well not THAT weird but a bit weird.
On that very day I was in Los Angeles and I have only just heard about this. I was even flying in that very area, two days before I have this in my log book.
p38/112 N4361E Torrance - Torrance
and
Cessna 152 N24285 Torrance - Torrance
The reason I looked it up is that I remember flying over the Queen Mary and that map on this site looked very familiar.
I had thought that this was one of those urban legends!!
Edited because even though I refrained from writing “apocryphal story” and wrote “urban legend” instead, I still can’t spell to save my life!!!!
