Los Angeles - 2007
Going back in time a bit here.
I took these photos back in 2007 on yet another trip to Los Angeles. Los Angeles was almost like my second home for about 10 years, and this was before I started to do photography as a hobby, oh the photos I could have got. Kicking myself now.
Anyway here are a few I took anyway, and never to been seen again scenes.
The first photo shows a good old Air New Zealand B747-400 parked at terminal 2 along with an old
Aviacsa Airlines B737-200, XA-TVN. Of course Air New Zealand no longer fly's the B747 to LAX and I,m pretty sure that XA-TVN is no longer in service.
An now over that the old Tom Bradley Terminal, which is of course the main International Terminal at LAX for a large number of carriers. The good old B747-400 was the most common aircraft parked at Tom Bradley back in those days as most airlines flying long haul out of LAX used the
-400 and of course it was before the A380 era. I am looking forward to have a closer look at the new Tom Bradley Terminal that has been built.
So a few shots from the old Tom Bradley Terminal.
Air Zealand will relocate from terminal 2 to the the new Tom Bradley Terminal in September this year.

Air New Zealand - ZK-OKC Approach
The sun was almost setting and it was getting dark quick, and I was hoping the sun would appear from behind the clouds and put some rays of light on this attempt of getting Air New Zealand's new livery
ZK-OKC from a different angle landing at Auckland on 23L.
Oh well good excuse I guess to go back out to the airport another day for another attempt with more light around. Oh well, here is what I got anyway....

China Southern - B-2733
Well I haven't posted many 787 photos at all so just a couple of China Southern's flight CZ305 arriving from CAN in B-2733
Just out of interest, the average fuel load for CZ with the 787-8 from AKL-CAN is about 70 tonnes.
Looking forward to the arrival of Air New Zealand's brand new B787-9 soon...

LAX - A Canadian, Mexican & a American.
A couple of tails here parked at Terminal 2 in Los Angeles, managed to quickly get these shots while passing though LAX.
Pictured here is WestJet's B737-700, C-GWJG and Volaris's A320-319, XA-VOE
Both these airlines are relatively new, WestJet was founded in 1996 and is a Canadian based airline, and Volaris, Mexican based started up in 2006 I think.
And a couple of Delta Airlines Airlines tails also, the closest one if N193UW, A320-231, parked at Terminal 1.
