No equipment?First rule of fight club, never go anywhere without a camera. (Actually, if my photojournalism professor ever caught us on campus without a camera, it was a F on the next exam)
Yep, good point

Yes, the Aisiana 777 was actually nearly a half hour late, and they were trying to get it towed over before 5:30.

Los Angeles International Airport's Flight Path Learning Center and Museum will salute the 50th anniversary of jet passenger service with a festive benefit on October 7 in the Imperial Terminal on LAX's south perimeter. The featured speaker will be airport Executive Director, Gina Marie Lindsey.
Themed "Salute to the Jet Age," the evening includes a reception at 5:30 and dinner at 7. Featured will be static displays of historic passenger jet aircraft on the tarmac near the dining area. More than 400 guests are expected. Reservations are available by calling (310) 215-5291.
The museum is a joint venture of the Flight Path Learning Center of Southern California, a nonprofit community group organized in 1995 to develop and promote the museum, and Los Angeles World Airports, the City agency which operates LAX. The salute is Flight Path's 13th annual fund-raiser.
Emphasizing Flight Path's educational mission, each gala features presentation of the Clay Lacy and Charles "Pete" Conrad scholarships to students planning careers in aviation or aerospace. The competitive selections are made by panels of aviation professionals, according to Flight Path President Rowena Ake.
"Education is the heart of our work at Flight Path," said Ake. "We want our guests to appreciate this while they have an enjoyable evening. Dinner will be served outside under a big tent with an amazing view of the airfield."
The evening's entertainment will feature the Hyperion Outfall Serenaders jazz combo. Guests will have an opportunity to view aviation memorabilia and flight simulators in the museum and vintage aircraft on the tarmac, including the museum's historic DC-3. Also featured will be a special photo exhibit of historic Hangar No. 1, celebrating its 80th anniversary during 2009. The hangar is the last remaining original structure on the airport.
Flight Path's galleries feature an array of memorabilia, including current and vintage aircraft models, airline pilot and flight attendant uniforms from Pan Am, TWA and other carriers, and classic photos of aviation pioneers and airport history. An on-site research library was formally dedicated last year in honor of William A. Schoneberger, noted aviation historian and author.
The Flight Path Learning Center and Museum is situated in the Imperial Terminal, 6661 W. Imperial Highway, Los Angeles. It is open to the public from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Admission and parking are free. For driving and parking directions and other information call (310) 215-5291.
