LAX - 3/25/2011 (Day 2 of 4 - Image Heavy)

DAY 2
The morning started out misty and overcast, but towards midday the sun made a brief appearance. I bounced around between Imperial Hill and near In-N-Out burger. Met a few other spotters and then caught up with Mark from NYCAviation. Sorry of any similar images already posted by Mark. Enjoy!

Ah........finally the Qantas A380 shows up! I was armed with two camera's (D300 with a 70-200mm lens and my D700 with a 14-24mm lens attached in order to get to the few shots below)

Ha! love the set Mark. I should have had two cameras on the beach at SXM as well... did a lot of lens switching for no reason... I did bring my two bodies ... oh well next time.

Love the Singapore and Tahiti A340s, liveries look nice on them. I hear you about the Flagship and the CES Better City... I can;t get them in good light or at all LOL.

Keep em coming!
