At a particular point (Point Woronzof – http://www.alaska101.com/…lkBike.gif) on the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail you can stop on the rocky beach and watch planes take off from the Anchorage International Airport directly overhead. Listen and you can hear.

We saw about 5 planes take off from there in the short time we were there.

We didn’t get any pics, but here’s some pictures someone else took:
