    Just a few from me, on a day that was very promising, but didn't quite pan out the way I'd hoped:

    I don't know what you mean, Cary, those shots look pretty good to me. Unless you mean you missed certain specific a/c, which I could never relate to

    Thanks...yeah, so there were 6 things I went out there to get:

    1) Qantas Boxing Kangaroo (50% chance) - it was the other plane (regular colors)
    2) LOT 787 - no sun from my angle
    3) ANA Star Alliance - went 22R, when I've never seen ANA go 22R
    4) Kuwait 747-400 - FlightAware/Plane Finder/etc. error
    5) Habitat for Humanity (yeah, I still need a better shot of that) - ACARS error
    6) Iberia Longest Tweet - no sun from my angle...the sun hit it right at the spot where a tree blocked my shot

    So yeah, 0 for 6. That's just being cursed

    1) Bad ADS-B data???
    2& 6) Looking at Jason's photos, there was plenty of sun on the LOT 787 & Iberia A340. Where we you hiding?
    3) 22R for ANA? Very strange
    4) Kuwait 747 has been a ghost for who knows how long now.
    5) I also still need a better shot. Best I have is a low sun angle shot to 31L from Costco

    Not cursed...poor strategy.

    Nope, Boxing Kangaroo was QFA107 going into LAX...it's normally a tossup between the two 747s, on which one continues to JFK. So, I knew that one wasn't for sure, but it would have been nice.

    Ha, I was on the right side, on the Mounds. I was trying to let another spotter by, who had just walked up, when the LOT was in sun. The Longest Tweet wasn't in sun for any shots I got.

    The Kuwait had the actual registration of the 747-400 on FlightAware and Plane Finder (in fact, it still shows: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/9KADE - although they fixed the aircraft type).

    Even if Habitat came, it would have been the other side...that one is pretty much a guarantee to go to 22R or 31L.
