LAS, SAN and LAX march 2013

[Smoketrails]

Hi Guys,

My 1st photography post on NYCAviation! This wasn't a spotting trip but I managed to escape from my girlfriend a couple of times. Managed a couple of hours at LAS, chose the 1's and wasn't dissapointed in my choice.. At SAN I nearly had the whole afternoon and the weather was great. Shame is I was alone with the car and could not leave it unaccompanied, so I was stuck at the viewing area. This becomes a pain when aircraft are waiting to line up. Not only do the tails get in the way of landing a/c, but the heatwaves tend to upset a lot the pictures. LAX was awful weather wise, low clag and fog rolling in over the sea, heatwaves, haze and a nasty bit of your typical LA smog didn't help very much in getting some good shots. Anyway, I hope you enjoy them...I did taking them.

Do you need a ladder at SAN?

[Smoketrails]

Lear,

No you don't for the landing traffic but it can be tricky.

[lear45]

Thanks. I have not shot from there and was wondering. I fly in and out of there frequently though!
