Made it up to VCV today and saw ZA002. It's parked on the ramp in front of the Airport Operations Bldg. Didn't get any good shots but here it is:

I'm going to head up there now myself and see what I can see! Even though I live here in Socal I've never actually spotted at Victorvile so any advice and where I should go when I arrive? Thanks.

Don't know if people have already seen this, but if you haven't take a look. It's a very cool computer simulation of the Hudson River landing.

Do you happen to look like a donut? :)[/quote]

Well...I've never thought about it, but yeah, I guess you could say I'm carrying around a couple of extra lb's which may make me look like a giant...

Last time I was over there was probably about 2 or 3 months ago but basically if you're only spotting the cops just drive by. Once in a while they will stop but they never ask you to leave. It...

Thats right! We Terrapins are a fearsome bunch.

Moose,

I know you meant "KCBM" and not “KCPM” but it just caught my eye since I manage KCPM and I'm pretty sure I only have two parallels (25L/7R and 25R/7L)! :P

I spotted at the ATL Renaissance last August and found the view to be really great. I had a 6 hour lay-over between LAX and DUB and shot over there and was given a room on one of the top floors...

Thanks, Phil. I never knew her since this all happened before I was born.

I have a cousin (several times removed that I really don't know well) on that flilght. My grandmother actually dropped him and his new wife off at the airport for the flight. He survived, she...

I was at SEA on Saturday just for a day trip. I also went to BFI to spot, then the museum and then downtown for some lunch. I probably drove right by you.

I was at SMO when the crash happened and had the horrific experience of witnessing the Marchetti stall and plummet into the ground. We rushed over to the crash site to see if we could help but it...

Really, what a coincidence! If everything goes according to plan and I take the trip maybe I'll check back with you before the flight and you can let me know if he's still planning to go. I'll say...

I'm going to be doing some non-rev travel over Thanksgiving. Either the day before Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving day I'll be attempting LAX-IAD on UA and then Thanksgiving night I'll try for Dubai...

The original S-55 that flew for New York Airways is now N111VA and currently sits 100 feet outside my office here at Compton/Woodley Airport. (I am actually looking at it as I type this). It was...

Yeah, I know there are other good spots but that was always my favorite because you got a great view of stuff touching down on 31R , a great view of stuff stopping on 13L, and a super close view of...

As I'm sure is the case with many of you I used to love going to the US Customs parking lot back in the 1990's to watch the action. Then they put up all that blue plastic and started chasing people...

Great Shots! I've gotta say that in my opinion that particular MD-11 is the best looking a/c in the world.

My company flies our employees between HNL and Midway Island on a G-I. I've got to take that flight one day.

Actually, Arnold flies Falcon 2000's in and out of SMO...and get this: he has a spare fly with him incase the one he's on breaks down! Gotta love that conservation!

While the jet traffic has...

Ahh but it was Saturday and they were doing something with their cargo. Tommy and Phil can attest to us witnessing something interesting going on...

And the entire time Tommy, Phil, and I were worried about the El Al security sneaking up on us instead.

-Andrew

That's hilarious! I was driving said Audi that Tommy was in. I didn't even notice anyone behind us.

The Airport!
