    2.5million people have private planes registered at just one airport? Man do I feel like a poor right now.

      It’s mostly landing/takeoff records. Big airports have takeoff and landing fees and would keep records such as this for accounting and legal reasons. Being a major airport like LAX means it’s probably mostly private/commercial jets, but also plenty of small time hobbyist aviators are probably wrapped up in this, and would be the only victim here ( general aviation pilots tend to use smaller, local airports but still on occasion hit the big ones).

      No. 2.5 million people have used them. And not all private planes are fancy luxury sky-yachts.

      For instance, a small prop-job used for flight training.
