KLAX-12/6/14: A Day in LA (Image HEAVY)
Hey Guys,
Bit of a whirlwind set to share with you today. Wednesday of this week, a friend of mine who works for a major airline offered to buddy-pass me out to LAX for Saturday. Since my last day of class was Friday, and final exams weren't for a week, how could I say no. So I netted about 20 hours in Los Angeles, and one day of spotting that we managed to maximize to the fullest.
My first encounter with the split-scimitar winglets on the 737
