Frontier A-321 Maria the Bald Eagle at KLAX
I fly to Los Angeles a few times a year to photograph Comic Cons.I usually stay in El Segundo, near Clutter's Park. On this trip I was in LA for 5 days. I walked to Clutter's Park 4 times and was pretty much totally skunked 3 times. Marine layer overcast is common, this time it was more like heavy ground fog. Many times I could barely see from the park to the building across the street, let alone the runways or terminals. While sitting at the park I would check the current LAX weather - clear, sunny, 80 degrees. All lies! However, I manage one good day plane watching - nice mix of heavies and special liveries. This day, plus the LA Comic Con, made the trip worthwhile.
Around 3 pm I noticed the marine layer clouds were forming. Pretty soon the ground fog also started approaching. I was hoping it would hold off until the Condor A-330 landed around 5 pm. It did, barely. Bummer I missed a bunch of stuff after that!
