What's wrong with this picture?


Time once again for everybody's favorite feature. Coincidentally, the subject of this photo came up recently in a family conversation. So, what's wrong with this picture?

  1. Has the A380 gone too far East on E? Also of note the A320, A330, A340, and A380 are all pictured.

  2. "So, what's wrong with this picture?" No Boeing aircraft! That is the problem! Where is the A380 going?

  3. The A380 has taxied past V and missed the turn to 24L. This is a similar WWWTP from May 2013. Are you testing our ability to remember Captain Vector? or it is more likely that I am missing the anomaly.

  4. All Airbus aircraft A320, A330, A340 and A380. Not a Boeing in sight !

  5. Looks like Emirates missed the turn.

  6. Emirates went too far down the taxiway and will need to be pushed back.

  8. Not really a comment on this post, and not sure if you get LAWA emails, but there's an interesting old film about the airport available now on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izXA14MFFXI

    Keep those planes moving, R2! Hope all is well.

  9. The A380 is heading towards Runway 24R, which is over 1,000 feet shorter, instead of Runway 24L.

  10. Yet another A380 taxied past the entry point for runway 24 Right. I seem to recall a previous winner of the tug of shame was Singapore Airlines. Are there any others?
    And can other large aircraft, like the 747-8, 777-300ER and A340-600 take Echo 7 with no problems?
    I didn't know Jetblue flew to LAX ( except when their nose strut goes out of whack). Their main station in South California was Long Beach ( LGB ) and other flights at BUR.
    When did Hawaiian change to the A330? On second tought, since Hawaiian operates out of T2, it will shortly be featured in your series of all the airport's carriers.

  11. Should the A380 be on the other side of the airport?

  12. I presume that Emirates is doing/about to do something wrong...Not sure on this one. I don't think they have been flying this aircraft type into LAX very long.

  13. It looks like Emirates is pass the A380 rated section of the taxiway. Probably not the first and not the last.

  14. It's either something to do with the Emirates A380...or it's the Virgin Atlantic A340....ummm

  15. The A380 is past the turn for 24L at D7 and can't use E7 to turn around. He's gotta be pushed back.

    1. It just looks that way; I tweaked it. Wish I could do that for real!

  17. Is that taxiway approved for an A380 ?
