1981/1982, QF B747 on visual approach to KLAX almost lands at the Hughes Airfield, just to the north/north east of KLAX. Starts G/A on very short final and turns left coming within 100ft of a University Church tower on top of a 300ft bluff. Bluff nearly invisible at night. Called a QF S/O mate and relayed story, thought I was company knocking/exaggerating. Told him to check out the hill/bluff on next daylight arr @ LAX. Calls back a few months later; he's re-telling the tale inbound to LAX on a daylight arrival. F/O tells him, "that was me, look at that hill!"
