Remarks: Another one of the Qantas Jumbo's lifts away from LA and starts it's long flight back to down under. Looking great in the midday sunshine. (1dmkii/100-400LIS)
Remarks: Back to the old school here, a JAL 744 in the old colours departs from LAX. All JAL routes to KLAX are now served with the 773ER's! No more 4 holers! (1dmkii/100-400LIS)
Remarks: Continental 757-300 departs LAX. These birds are now starting to get fitted with winglets. Not long now before the Continental livery dissapears now that the merger with United has been confirmed. (1dmkii/100-400LIS)
Remarks: Air Tahiti A340 lumbers away from LA in the lovely February sunshine! For an A343 this one got of the ground early! The AA terminal, the control tower and a well known Salmon can be seen in the background. (1dmkii/100-400LIS)
Remarks: Now this is more like what i expect from an A343! A nice long take off roll that always makes me wonder if it's actually going to get off the ground. Taking off late with a JAL old colous 744 sat on the ground taxing to the gate. (1dmkii/100-400LIS)
Remarks: Fed Ex MD-10F departs 25R from LAX in near perfect conditions! Great to shoot these tri-holer cargo's departing as they are a rare sight at Heathrow! (1dmkii/100-400LIS)
Remarks: Singapore Airlines super long hauler sits in the afternoon sun in California waiting to be pulled back to stand to load up and start making it's long journey back to Singapore. Back then this service operated with a mixture of Economy + and Raffles (Business) Class seats. It now however operates solely as a Raffles (Business) class service. Not a bad way to spend 16 hours i'm sure. (1D2/100-400LIS)
