A near-collision between two planes at Los Angeles International Airport last Friday was averted thanks to swift action by air traffic controllers. One of the planes, an Embraer ERJ-140LR registered N509GU operating Key Lime Air flight KG563 arriving from Spokane, carrying the Gonzaga basketball team, halted abruptly as Delta flight DL471, an Airbus A321 registered N317DN, sped down the runway for takeoff to Atlanta.
