Damon are they "hot refueling" N720HT when you shot that pic?

[phantomphan1974]

I don't think so, but not sure, it had just taken off and them come back for mechanical reasons and I luck out see it from the 101 fwy and headed over there.  They did some tweaking and it later took off again for a test flight.

Where along the 101 freeway do they land

No, I was traveling east on 101 and saw him coming in so I took the 405 fwy North and exit for Van Nuys airport.  They were just north the Avitel Hotel on the east side of the airport.  I was on my way home from work in the valley to the South Bay.
