LAX - 7/6 (MANY photos!)

[Zee71]

Got a chance to do a little spotting prior to a meeting at Imperial Hill and In-N-Out Burger at LAX. Imperial Hill is sweet! The weather was less than idea........cloudy most of the day, and then some sun towards very late afternoon. I wish I had more time to enjoy these area's.

Well, that explains where the 300ER scheme was while I was sitting up here in Seattle waiting for it!
Great set - looks kinda odd to see the theme building sans scaffolding...every time I've shot from Imperial Hill over the past few years its been under renovation.

[seahawks7757]

Hey Jeremy I think they have 4 or 5 of them though.

Also great shots. The United Trip 7 one is epic!

[adscram14]

Fantastic shots! United 777 is awesome! Nice catch on the China Eastern and Eva as well!

[lijk604]

Nice work Mark! The vapor on the UA engines is outstanding. I love the variety of cargo carriers there, Yagtze River Express....cool. One of these days...one of these days I will make it to LAX!

[NIKV69]

Nice Mark! Did you meet a guy named Larry? He told me he ran into a NYCaver and forgot his name.

[Zee71]

Yes! I did run into a fellow spotter named Larry. It was a pleasure talking to him and he provided me with an alternate route to In-N-Out burger, which took me around the west side of LAX. Great views but unfortunately you can't stop there due to police in cars and on motorcycles cruising around. Here's another image of the Sky Team captured.

I hope I can make it out there again one of these days, especially Imperial Hill and spend the day as well as some time during the evening.

Yes he is a buddy of mine out here, I almost met you too as I was considering stopping by on my way to Burbank. He def is a good man! Glad he helped you out!

In lingo 13-year olds use, here it goes:

Better City Better life A346 - WIN!
Yangtze River Express - FTW!
EVA 773 special scheme - EPIC!
Shamu - I digz
Asiana 777 still in the elegant old scheme. There's a lot of WIN in that catch!


Weather ... EPIC FAIL! lol (just kidding) :D
