For some pilots, home is an LAX parking lot

Lot B at LAX: Not exactly Los Angeles' toniest address. Every few minutes, another plane lands or takes off on the runway just a few yards away. The noise is deafening. But this is the place a few dozen commercial pilots, flight attendants and ground crew members call home. The Tremor Of Planes "Oh, the airplanes? I guess there's airplanes around here," jokes Dave Hunt, a pilot for one of the big airlines. He doesn't seem to mind the constant noise. Neither does his neighbor, Pete Hopkins, who handles air freight for one of the big air fleets. They live in RVs outfitted with kitchens, bathrooms and small bedrooms, powered by generators and solar batteries.
