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

Jason and Cary, both your AAL's stand out for me! Lovely shots!
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 :)
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.
