Josh, you have shots of the Jolly Rogers T-34?  Saw it yesterday on the east side hangers.  About the 2nd or 3rd ones from Crenshaw.

Naw, I haven't been hanging around the airport as much lately.

What streets did you get the panorama of TOA? Looks like a good shooting location if we get more snow on our mountain range

I didn't take it from any streets, it was taken from the big hill that looks like it had the side of it fall down... The one you see when driving south on Hawthorne Blvd.

Take Hawthorne Blvd. south to Via Valmonte, which will be on your right, just before Hawthorne Blvd. makes a jet towards the east. Take Via Valmonte and then Turn left onto Via Pinzon, then just drive until Via Pinzon dead ends. Park and then walk up the dirt driveway looking path at the turnaround, and you will see a trail, make a left, then a right then take third path to the edge of the hill. Be vary careful for snakes (saw them) and of the edge of the hill, it's pretty slick with sand.

Thanks, I will have to go up there when we have an ultra clear day

That spot sounds scary because of the snakes lol but is too cold for them right now I think, but sure is a cool spot.

Would be cool to get pix of the snakes Hospital is close by

Josh, what kind of snakes were they?

Gopher snakes. But while talking to a local, he told me they have rattle snakes up there too. Gopher snakes will make rattler sounds by beating their tail on the ground, so just be cautious not to mix the two up. I suggest a walking stick, just in case.

Good advice
