I'd say between ACK and HYA. 12 minutes! But, those planes use Cessna 402's

1.5mile ?? Does it include the runway or when it leaves the ground ?
Originally posted by DAL767-400ERBetween Westrey and Papa Westrey in Orkney Islands, operated by Logan Air, 1.5mi, flight time between 1-2 minutes, depending on the wind. In general, people in Papa Westrey can see when the flight arrives at Westrey.before you finally have to descend..
Inactive from May 1 2009.

Some I remember of
LAX-SAN
American - DC10 / 707 / 727
PSA - 727-200
Western - the whole fleet
MIA-FLL
Delta - DC.8-61
Braniff - DC.8-62 / 727
Northwest - 720B / 707 / DC10
LAX-Long Beach
Continental - 727,
as with the afore mentionned Delta DC.8, when buying a ticket on this one usually culminated in having some agents suggesting you could rent a limo and give them a break !!!
PHL-IAD
United - DC.8-71
Cotonou-Lomé
Air Afrique - DC.8s / A300Bs / DC.10-30s
Nice-Marseille
RAM - 707 /727 /732
Air France - 727, also on Bordeaux-Toulouse
GVA-ZRH
Swissair - DC.8 / DC.10 / 747
TAP - 707
List goes on
Off course the mentionned routes were not the O&D, as for instance AA 707 flew further to Tulsa, but there they were.

I don't see who in their right mind would pay the price for a plane ticket on that short of a flight either.. Anyone who has ever experienced traffic in the LA basin during rush hour, especially on I-405, will seriously be contemplating boarding a flight at LGB (in the past), SNA or ONT to LAX, to have the safety of knowing that you will catch your important longhaul flight from LAX. Plus of course, SNA and ONT are cheaper as far parking goes, and less jam-packed than the departure area at LAX.
