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.

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

And here she is again.....now at KTOA. Picture of her was my first published photo. Aircraft has a certain fondness to me because of that.
