From 7pm to 9pm you will be able to enjoy hors d'oeuvres and cocktails in the Le May Room, hang out with fellow enthusiasts and win a prize or two for what will be the last aviation-themed soiree at Proud Bird before they close their doors for good this November.The event will be limited to the first 75 people that come, so get there early!HOTEL DISCOUNT: LAX Sheraton Gateway is the official hotel! It’s $110 per night when asking for the “LAX Spotter Meetup” discount on those dates, or you can book online at this specially arranged link... https://www.starwoodmeeting.com/StarGroupsWeb/booking/reservation?id=1307023688&key=84BA1.Feel free to keep an eye on this thread and take part in the Facebook event we've built... https://www.facebook.com/events/574936365879196/?ref=3Ask questions and stay tuned for updates!

For me personally, it's early, but I'm planning on being there from the 17th to the 21st, likely to be staying at the Sheraton Gateway at LAX (love that place!).

I'm planning on going out the 17th, back the 20th. Which hotel has the best view of the airport?

John, I recently stayed at the Embassy Suites on Airport Blvd. and asked for the highest floor facing Los Angeles. The room has a small balcony and a sliding glass doors that opens. With a 70-300mm or 80-400mm you can shoot arrivals on the 24s from the room. I'll post some shots tomorrow that I took. I stayed at three various Marriotts near the Embassy Suites and none of them offered a good view although the Marriott Renaissance parking lot did provide a good view of 24 arrivals as well. The Embassy Suites is pricey but you get free breakfast and I think an evening social. Parking is around $22 or $25 per day.

I'm in for the spotting trip to LAX!

I believe that Phil is looking at room rates now. As for me and a couple of the guys we have a nice hotel we stay at right next to Imperial Hill. We are never in the room long enough to spend to much for a room. LOL

For the Embassy at LAX, make sure to reserve a room with 2 doubles. All of the king rooms are on the back side of the hotel. There's street parking in front of the hotel, and I was able to find a spot without too much difficulty for the 3 or 4 nights I was there. Like anywhere, just read the signs. I've also still got a handful of breakfast tickets if anybody wants :>

2013-06-18, 06:31 PM
Guys, we are arranging a special hotel rate at one of the airport hotels that we'll be pushing once we firm it up in a few days. So far it looks like it will be $110 per night, and it will be at the place that we are likely going to have an airline-sponsored food/drink event as well. So if you can hold off on booking a room, do so.

I was in LA last week for work, but spent a few days before work to get a little spotting. As mentioned I stayed at the Embassy, and these were some early morning arrivals shots from the hotel balcony. Haven't made any reservations as of yet, waiting on the details. Unfortunately, I don't have Facebook or Twitter, so please keep me posted here.

Sheraton Gateway is a nice hotel, stayed there twice, but stayed at almost every other hotel by the airport too.

Van Nuys is cool. might be up to going there for a few hours.

2013-06-20, 09:54 AM

It may be finalized today, but they are likely to be the "official" hotel for the event, offering us a $110/night discount, and considering how awesome I think that hotel is, that's a sick deal.

We are likely to have a sponsored brunch or happy hour, probably at that hotel as well.

Zee71
2013-06-20, 10:38 AM
John, the Embassy I stayed at was on the North Side. The South Side Embassy Suites is near Imperial Hilll. Van Nuys is cool too. I stayed at the Airport Hotel there which has a huge Pan Am 747 model hanging from the ceiling. May consider going there to with you guys.

I am not sure if you guys are following the Facebook event page. But I have been talking with the owners of Star Helicopters to see about getting a discount. Well I was able to secure a discount, but it have some stipulations. How many of you guys would be interested in doing the tour? I am all sure you have seen and heard or the company that has worked out a deal with LAX. The normal price is 550.00 per hour, they have offered a discount to 525.00 which would be $175.00 per person. I just need a head count of how many of you would be interested in doing this.

BTW I have stayed at the Gateway. We will be staying there again. Get a room and share with a buddy, its only 60.00 a night. Although we like to edit photos before hitting the bed. It always makes me laugh seeing 8-10 laptops up and running, seeing everyone charge their cameras. A total AVGEEK fest.

With one week to go, have any of the potential side events been finalized? I know there was talk about a dinner on Friday night...with close to 100 people attending this (probably more that haven't said anything), it would be good to know what is going on before we all get out there.

Have a great time at LAX. Something confuses me, Flight Aware lists the A380 into LAX as an alternate with the regular B744. Let us know as Flight Aware has been mistaken in the past. It lists todays'( Oct 18) flight as the older B744. When I search G-XLEA, the same site lists a 6:04pm A380 arrival into LAX on Oct. 18, which is the sole A380 of BA. If true, the aircraft must be a workhorse as the flight is about 11 hours each way. You guys at LAX please confirm A380 or B744. I am curious. I once waited for the AFR A380 into JFK, Flight Aware listed Flight 6 as the A388 but I saw it and it was the older B777. Where do they get the listings, the flight route is also often incorrect.

Firstly, thanks to Phil and the Phoenix Spotters for setting this up. It was a great outing, and it was nice to hang with fellow spotters and meet new spotters as well. You couldn't have asked for better weather and traffic. Hope everyone made it home safely. Now comes the grunge work of post processing. Hope to have a few images uploaded soon. Looking forward to everyones images. John K and I enjoyed a few hours of spotting from the restaurant at LAX while waiting for our return flight home. All good stuff came our way for a change as we were enjoying and feasting on our lunch like the bird below.

Finally back on the East Coast and the only part that is happy about it is my skin! Multiple full days roasting in the sun beat me up!

I really had a great time. When we set out to do this, my mind went to that week in 2004 during the Airliners International convention, where spotters FILLED every spotting location. I wanted to recreate that so bad and being out there with so many people was just great.

As I've always said, the interest in planes is only half of it. The other half is getting to enjoy them with great people. This past weekend ranks high on my list of aviation experiences :)

There will be more of these, in cities all over the place. So stay tuned :)

Got back Monday morning from LAX RWY 25R to JFK RWY 31L on Delta 1162 (B767-300ER N196DN)

This also ranks high on my list of great turnouts ... even Raj made a last day appearance which is always nice. Love sharing stories and pictures with good friends. Hunting planes in LAX with Mark, Eric, John, Matt and company was terrific. While not nearly as difficult as it can be at JFK, it nevertheless provides enough of a challenge to be exciting!

Finally, hats off to Southwest for PERFECTLY planning all their regular scheme aircraft during the best light hours for photography and sending each and every one of their specials while there was little or no light.

Thanks to Phil and Jason primarily but also to everyone that contributed to the experience. Thanks to the cloud gods for giving us excellent WX throughout ...

Looking forward to when the event is held in DME/UUDD :tongue:

I thought I would share a few of the ones I was able to get through so far. It'll be months before I am done with my limited photo editing time!

I remember several years ago - we did an unofficial get together here at FLL - Phil and Tom Alfano were a couple of the ones that made it down here - it was a total blast!! I think we should organize a MIA/FLL weekend down here :) (Says he that can't travel at the moment - but REALLY wants to see everyone again). I know Nick V has been wanting to come down here for a trip - I'm sure a few others could do it!! :)

I know! It's just when I get to 95 my car refuses to go south and goes west! If I can score cheap airfare I may fly in for a quick day and half deal. I would love to see you and Vic and the gang.

Great catches guys. I plan on hitting PHX, SAN and LAX on my way out for a couple of weeks. Can't beat it.

Guys, I am interested in making an article with a gallery containing images that people took during the trip. So if you'd like to post more pics, don't hold back. If you specifically want your pics excluded, please let me know. These shots are just too great for the masses to not see.

Great. Were you at Imperial Blvd? Wish we had a parallel road by a fence at JFK. Love Fiji tail. Hope somebody saw Alaska "Salmon". What a catch that would be. I recall spotting at LAX; much easier than JFK as all aircraft approach from the east ( no north-south runways).

Folks,

Gotta say - what a great set of photographs - sounds like a wonderful weekend. I'm sorry I didn't join you all - maybe next time. Mark - you sure have that nighttime photography mastered - simply stunning. Everyones shots are outstanding. Did you all have vehicles to get around or is it possible to do it without transportation?

Zee71
2013-10-29, 09:09 AM
Thanks! A bunch of us had vehicles and some prearrangements were made for sharing a ride. Depending where one stays a vehicle may not be necessary but your spotting location(s) will be limited.

Mark, that korean 747f is incredible!
Outstanding work to everyone!
My parents have decided that for my upcoming birthday... I'm going to lax for the weekend for spotting. Is there anyway i can know which airlines use which runways? And which way the sun is this time of year for LA? I'm an east coast kid so bare with me!

NickPeterman
2013-10-29, 11:20 AM
Jared, why don't you set up a dedicated thread elsewhere, and those of us who have "done" LAX can chime in there, that way we don't clog up this thread with talk unrelated to the awesome pics that are being posted here.

The last one, killer! Is that from the hill, and do the aircraft stop on a taxiway, or hold short etc...?

gonzalu

Jared, yes, from Imperial Hill... Sometimes they will stop for exiting aircraft so you must be prepared to take advantage ;)

John, glad you got the bizjet on the GAT ramp ;)

Mark slowed down to a crawl for the shot, and we immediately were asked to move along by LAPD. Never saw them until I pushed the trigger.
Maybe we need a data set? ;P

Thanks Jared, all of those night shots were from the hill.

Data sets? I'm up to my ears in data sets and data-mining!!!! Glad you were able to get the shot.

Jared …. for most night shots (except for those parked at the gate), you have to be in the ready mode, no time to adjust the settings. Try to have your camera set, and the second the aircraft stops, start shooting! Don't be afraid to increase your ISO in order to get a faster shutter speed or open up your aperture and adjust accordingly.

I just just downloaded my first batch of photos from the LAX trip to my main computer... I have about 150GB worth of shots ... those are old D3 file sizes so it is a TON of pictures. Had I had my D800, it would have been more like 500GB :tongue:

Only one for now. Last ever touchdown of a Singapore A340-500 at LAX. What an experience!

I didn't come close to how much I expected to shoot, or to how much I wanted to; unfortunately by the time I decided to go, it was too late to request PTO at work for Friday, to that, add that I hit some bad IRROPS on my way to LAX, got re-routed through ORD, barely made my connection, and got to the gate almost 1 hour later than I originally planned to, and on Sunday the weather was miserable.

I think these two are my only "stellar" shots.

In the end, I definitely enjoyed the company of people I hadn't seen in ages, some In-n-Out, and got to visit LAX after almost 2 years without doing so (awful considering that I was merely 6 hours by car). I got plenty of Virgin America shots, my first 787 (actually, my first 787 sighting ever was at ORD while taxiing to the runway on the way to LAX). After getting to my apartment around 11 PM on Sunday (got hit with yet another delay, this time at DEN) and seeing the first photos, I safely concluded that I regretted nothing.

Those night shots from the hill are amazing! Manny, where were you for the A345 touch down? We were in a vacant lot just shy of the piano keys as it flew over. Didn't see the touch down on the ground. I have been uploading all of my keepers to JP.net. I have had 31/33 of my LAX keepers accepted. The two rejects are back in queue after minor adjustments.

My Singapore shot.
