An Alaska Airlines stretch DC-9 had to take evasive action just after taking off from Long Beach Municipal Airport to avoid a collision with another plane, a Federal Aviation Administration spokesman said. No one was hurt aboard Flight 107, but the FAA spokesman said it bypassed a scheduled stop at Portland and went on to Seattle so its engines could be examined for possible damage caused by the sudden acceleration. There was no immediate report on what inspectors found. Nor was the other aircraft identified.
