Very cool color scheme on this Korean 747 as StarCraft; Korea's most popular online video game promotes the new sequel game.

NZ has become the newest in a growing line of carriers to replace the 747 service to LAX. A sad moment indeed as it means there is one less 747 gracing the skys of LAX. But it is hard to complain when the replacement is a 777-300 that looks so good especially in this spring evening light. Inbound from LHR.

Not living in LA anymore, I missed out when this bird was first introduced. But now during my Spring Break, i made it a goal to capture this bird and what a convenient surprise that this bird comes to LAX the first day I'm back. Truly a great paint scheme! Seen here rocketing off to LHR.

I love the condensation that forms in those massive engines as well as over the wing! Creates an awesome effect!

Similar to the A380, the wingspan on the 748 is too great to taxi via Charlie or Bravo to 25R from the TBIT. In order to utilize the south complex, it must taxi via Alpha, the southern most taxiway and use 25L. Unfortunately this means that both the A380 and 748 usually will use 24L instead due to the much shorter taxi, but occasionally we'll see one use 25L, which is great for us photographers as we can catch this beauty in nice winter light.

About one of the last flights to board and be serviced by ground crew before a thunderstorms rolled through bringing with them heavy rain and frequent lightning strikes. Subsequently PVG ground ops were closed for 3 and a half hours due to the storms causing me to miss my connection in NRT and having to pay for a hotel since airlines don't cover weather delays... ):
