http://www.marketwire.com/mw/release.do?id=787986  Link to info.  This is on Monday.  Old Nasa bird to fly into LAX at Museum and will eventually be on display at NG on aviation Blvd.  I am going to try and make it.  Hope they are late.

Yeah. I am getting off at 1:30 but work in the Valley so I may make it or at least shot thru the fence hopefully without Airport Police interference.

I'm off that day. Any suggestions where to camp to get a good shot?

You might call LAX Public Relations [(310) 646-5260] and see if you can get on the ramp, other wise I'll leave this to Damon to answer since he shoots there way more than I do.

I called and it pretty much open to the public.  Museum volunteer that answered figured it would be there at least a couple hours but was not sure of how long that today or there tomorrow.

First of many.

Good to see you got there! Very cool.

Just barely, I had to sprint into the museum.  It was taxing as I was parking.

Damon, great catch!! Now I am really sad that I couldn't make it! I am in NY at the moment so I will send out your disk when I get back.
