Not LAX in identification
There's no mistaking the approach to Los Angeles International Airport these days. The airport's operator has erected orange pylons as high as 10 stories, with the airport's designator code, LAX, in 32-foot letters. Fifteen of the 100-foot pylons form a gateway at Century and Sepulveda boulevards; 11 shorter but still larger-than-life pylons are on the Century Boulevard median strip between Aviatio.
