I flew in from ORD Wednesday night. For a while, it appeared as if we were going to land 30 some minutes early. All of a sudden, our arrival time changed by 20 minutes and I saw SoFi Stadium a few thousand feet, instead of a couple of hundred feet, below us. This was the first time that I recall landing from the west, at least while seating by the window. Even though the storm was moving in, there was a clear view the coastline and the mountains all the way to Malibu. As we were taxiing, I could see planes taking off to the east.
