Duck: did you snag Endeavour?
Some snaps. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lano...er-photos.html (Enterprise (which never flew in space) flew low around and over Montreal on the back of one of the 2 747's in the early 80's and I saw that. It landed in Ottawa - a buddy of mine and I flew his C-172 there to see it up close on the ground. Impressive. (It may not have been called "Enterprise" at the time for that matter). He took video IIRC. I didn't have a camera with me). -- "There were, unfortunately, no great principles on which parties were divided – politics became a mere struggle for office." -Sir John A.

I was some 90 miles South in the Lake Nacimiento area ( 35.7204983333,-120.8808650000 )with other stuff happening. -- Regards, Savageduck |

The A-380 shot is great! (Air France fly about 5 A-380 flights/week here but I haven't gone out to shoot. They also moved the flight to 15:00 meaning the warmer light is gone. In the fall when the flight came in at around 17:00 one could get great light on the 24R approach). -- "There were, unfortunately, no great principles on which parties were divided – politics became a mere struggle for office." -Sir John A.

It is always interesting to see some of that strange and exotic freight which passes in front of your lens. BTW: Nice capture! I know you are going to miss the opportunities when you pull the plug. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Go and check Dale's work at alt.binaries.pictures.aviation there you will see some of his shots are literally closer than you might have thought possible. He is a shooter of planes. Here are a couple of his shots of an A380 from his latest batch. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1295663/Fil...2012%20281.jpg https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1295663/Fil...2012%20278.jpg https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1295663/Fil...2012%20270.jpg -- Regards, Savageduck |

Just getting it from LAX to Inglewood might find it up on blocks in a vacant lot with the wheels gone. -- Regards, Savageduck |

I hear it's to be hauled through the streets on a large transport at 2 MPH or so, and that in some spots there will be only a few inches clearance between it and the buildings it's passing between. As I understand it just choosing the route was a challenge, requiring months of work by volunteer engineers to find & verify one with enough clearance and that can withstand the weight. Not to mention cutting down over 400 mature trees. Those will be replaced, and then some, by the museum but it will take 10 - 20 years or more to get back to the same state. -- "There were, unfortunately, no great principles on which parties were divided – politics became a mere struggle for office." -Sir John A.

A 2 for 1 replanting, I hear. Any word if good use is to be made of the cut trees, perhaps offsetting the need to harvest 400 other trees? Mulch is mulch. What I saw on the news they were just feeding the downed trees into an industrial sized Chipper/shredder, blowing all the chips into the back of a dump truck. I guess they might save the Inglewood municipality some landscaping supply costs with the pile of chips and mulch. -- Regards, Savageduck |
