    LAX 10/26/07

    Hi Guys,

    Couple of quick edits from yesterday at LAX. Its 5am and I'm up and awake :) I've been actually up for the past 3 hours :) In few minutes I'll drive to Hollywood to finally see that place and then straight to the airport for full day of spotting :)
    The only problem here at LAX is very dense smoke from the fires. You can see on the pictures that the sky is foggy. Also heat haze is ruining all ground shots.









    Take care,
    Rafal

    Mel, to see the pictures, right click the picture, put the url for 1 picture in a new window, do not bother lookin...just close the window and refresh this page, they will then all show up :borat:
    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

    What is Encounters?
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.

    The restaurant at the "Theme Building" featured in the first picture.

    Here's a pic I took of it back in July

    I love the wheel auction on the Qantas 744. Very nice!

    I don't know what Comcast is doing. One day I can see the pictures, another time I can't.
    The weather was very bad both days. At least first day I had some sun. Second day I had sun for only 20 minutes.
    I will try to upload some pictures from my second day at LAX.

    Especially since I was there a few days before I posted that. :)

    I knew that structure was sort of the iconic building of LAX the way the old TWA terminal represents JFK, but for some reason I never knew what was in there. Was it always a restaurant?
