Remarks: China Eastern 586 climbs off of rnwy 7R, starting the long journey back to China. Due to the reverse traffic direction, this day was among the best ever for taking pictures at LAX.
Remarks: LTU 1531 zooms past the LAX tower en route to Dusseldorf. A thunderstorm had just passed through the LAX area to the north, which created great lighting conditions when the sun finally came out in the south-western sky.
