West Imperial Highway in El Segundo is elevated and looks down on the airport. (just do a search for W. Imperial Hwy/Elg Segunod on Yahoo maps) Years ago they used to have benches facing the airport and you literally loooked down on it. Haven't been there in years, so dont' know what it's like now.

The benches as still there and W. Imperial Highway is still a great place to plane watch. There is also an off-leash dog park just down the street that has a great veiw of the runways.

I go and watch the planes from there with the family quite often.
