Good morning/afternoon/evenig,
Long time lurker here....first time poster.
I will be travelling to the USA from Australia in late July for two weeks visiting LA, Seattle, and San Francisco for a bit of plane spotting.
At the moment I have two sessons booked with Star helicopters for air-to-air spotting and plan to spend the mornings and afternoons/early evenings at various locations at LAX. I'd appreciate if anyone can advise me on what to look out for, and where are the best locations for shooting at LAX during mornings and late afternoons. Besides 'In n Out' burger, what would be a good spot to take photos of aircraft landing on 24R? Also, is the westchester bridge a good place to spot? I will be renting a car in LA so transportation is no problem.
The second stop is Seattle where i will be spending overall three days, and will be doing the Boeing tour and spotting at Paine Field and Boeing field. How busy is Paine field as I intend to spend 3-4 hours there plane spotting, hoping to catch the Dreamlifter and various un-painted aircraft.
The third and final stop is San Francisco, I have read that it can be somewhat difficult to take good photos - other than the location in the internatonal terminal car park. Has anyone good any advice on good locations?
Again, I really appreciate if anyone can give me any useful advice.
I have had some rather awkward expereinces with the authorities during my spotting day at JFK, and I'd want to avoid that kind of encounter again!
