KLAX, Endeavour arrival 22Sept2012

[JDANDO]

Had a great time in LA, fish tacos, giant burritos and a few widebodies. The star of the weekend was N905NA of course.

These were from the Proud Bird area. The Proud Bird was a reservation only event, so I was a 100 feet west on 111th with a several hundred people.

Meet some interesting people, local spotters, spotters from; Nashville, Phoenix, Oklahoma City and Prescott, Scotland! Played phone tag with the NYCA crew :frown:

The locals were friendly, including all the LEOs.

I got a ton of other traffic and most of it was not DELTA!

Finally got a chance to go through my Endeavour images and here are the results. Unfortunately the heat of the day didn't help, but who cares..........it's the shuttle.
