Shot of the day

MD11s are pretty much only seen in cargo operations these days at LAX. Our latest MD11 operator is SkyLease Cargo (radio callsign: Sky Cube), who also sometimes appears with a B747.

Shot of the day: Biz jets

I'm looking for a photo to illustrate my answer for last week's post. In the meantime, here's a shot of a couple of biz jets. One of them is normally considered a large business jet -- Except in this context!

Photo quiz

I looked out the window and learned something last week. This is what I saw; what do you think I learned?

Passages

Often, I show you shots of something newly seen at LAX, but today I'll note a couple of passages. Malaysian Airlines was already in financial straits before flight 370 disappeared, and pulled out of Los Angeles at the end of April. The opening shot is one of their last flights out. 

Another sight to be seen no longer at LAX is American's B767-200s. American has been using the B762 as a staple of its JFK-LAX service, but the new A321s have taken its place. The last American B762 at LAX left here for the boneyard last month -- I don't have any photos of that one because I worked it out; the shot above is one of their last arrivals at LAX. I selected this shot specifically for all of you who like to look at the airplanes in the background!
