Day 6: Spotting @ LAX, the last day...

Unfortunately, the last day of spotting arrived... But a big surprise will arrive soon...!

And what a surprise ?!!

This An-124 was certainly one of the highlight of my trip spotting!

After this day, I went to the airport and came back to Montreal. During the night and the early morning, I took 3 differents planes with only 20 minutes for my connections. It was a race, but I really want to take these flights!

Los-Angeles - Minneapolis with a Delta MD-90

Minneapolis - Detroit with a Delta DC-9-50 (I choose a seat next the engine just for the sound!)

Detroit - Montreal with a Delta CRJ-200

I hope you enjoyed these pictures!

Day 5: Spotting @ LAX with some surprises !

Early morning departures

It's well LAX, not an airport in Australia... Can you find the old Qantas paint scheme?

A rare plane called "Voodoo 1"

After this take off, I was speechless...

When I took this "Mad dog" in picture, I still don't know that two day later, I would sit in it...

Day 4: Leaving Las-Vegas to Los-Angeles

In the mid-morning of the 15th of November, I left Las-vegas for a short flight to Los-Angeles.
For this 40 minutes's flight, I choose United because this route was done with a B757-200.
Again, I was lucky with a good seat and a great view during take off!

---

No time to waste! Just after arrived at Los-Angeles, I drop my bag at the hotel, and went to the famous Imperial hill for the rest of the day.

A lot of plane from Asia, and a lot of B747 !

I was so happy to see this ! My first B747-800, which is still experimental.

Note the "Hollywood" in the upper left corner.
