Actually, I haven't, even though I have spent a lot of time near LAX (Venice Beach and Marina Del Rey), but technically, LAX can handle 4 landings and 4 takeoffs simultaneously with it's 4 long parallel runways.! The fact that there are so many planes that are landing and taking off most hours of the day, it is more efficient to use 2 runways for simultaneous landings and 2 runways for simultaneous takeoffs at the north and south sections of the airport, which is about a mile wide separating the 2x2 parallel runways across the airport.!
Boomer,
Just for the record, I meant to say, I have not seen 3 planes landing or taking off simultaneously at LAX, and not that I haven't been to Los Angeles or to LAX. I know LA very well, in case anyone really wondered.!
