Congratulations, Captain: The LAX fire and rescue trucks salute an arriving Fedex MD11 captain on his retirement flightLest I make it sound like the only thing happening around here is the Qantas A380 grounding, here are some photos I've taken in the last week of other things seen at LAX:
All Nippon has added a second daily flight to Tokyo. They're using B777-200s between LAX and Tokyo's Haneda airport, arriving late in the afternoon and leaving around midnight. This is the only service between Haneda and LAX; all the other Tokyo flights are to/from Narita, including All Nippon's mid-day flight in a B777-300. I sort of got lucky with this shot, since I took it a day or two before we went off of daylight savings time. Now this flight arrives after dark.
Jet Blue showed up with a new pinstripe tail design on this A320.
Alaska's latest Disney paint scheme on a B737-900. This is the first Alaska B739 to sport a special livery; all the other specials are B734s or B738s.
After a summer hiatus, Delta MD90s have returned to LAX, operating from Minneapolis-St. Paul. We used to have MD90s operating from Salt Lake City, but those flights are now operated with other aircraft or by Skywest CRJs. Delta is the only MD90 operator at LAX; American and Allegiant have MD80s. While I believe Delta still has MD80s too, we don't see them here.
Emirates has added a second daily flight between Dubai and LA. The new morning flight shows up in a B777-300, seen here about to touch down on runway 24 right; the afternoon flight is still in a B777-200.

Sun Country showed up last week with a B737-800 that they obviously picked up from someone else. Bonus points question: Whose livery is this?
And on a lighter note: This little fellow got trapped in our stairwell last week. I'm not sure how he got in there, but it took three of us to get him out. Once freed, he spent about five minutes perched here on our roof recovering from the ordeal before winging off towards the international terminal.

It's been a while since I've seen this Air Canada A319 in commemorative Trans-Canada paint, but it's been in and out a couple of times this past week.
A pair of promotional Volaris A319s: Volaris has started service to Cuernavaca in the Mexican state of Morelos, and Mexico is having a National Housing and Population Census in 2010.
Passionate Wings to Culture promotes Korean Air's sponsorship of Korean language service at the British Museum in London. Pictured are some of the Museum's significant artifacts. Korean also sponsors Korean language service at the Louvre Museum in Paris and the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. As far as I know, the British Museum is the only one to have a promotional airplane.
