Name that LAX spotting location - #3

There are two different locations this time, plus an unrelated picture that Airplane Life's herpatologist suggested. Also embedded in this series is a clue for those of you who are still searching for the answer to a previous game ... Have fun, and thanks for playing !







From the parking lots :

  1. The QF A380 is coming in over Lot C and Sepulveda to the 24's. Looks like the CX 747 is landing on them too.
    The A346 I have no clue, maybe it's headed for the downtown loop?
    Iguanas like Costa Rican rainforests according to my daughter who saw a bunch of them there.

  2. I kinda-sorta know, but my Google Earth is acting up. I'll get back to you unless someone figures it out in the meantime.

  3. I think the Qantas and Korean were taken from the elevated ramp that takes traffic from hwy 1 south onto the overpass that leads traffic onto World Way from W 96th St. I got some good shots of 24R landings from just north of there from ground level about a year ago. I hesitated to shoot from the overpass, afraid I would either get run over or arrested. I'm more conservative after 9/11 and now entering my "Golden Years", so to speak. I would guess the reptile might be located on Maui but have no clue, really...

  4. You all are correct or very close! The Korean was from the 96th bridge, taken by a daredevil we know. The other planes were from my room at the Embassy Suites LAX North. AA you are correct that you can get some good pictures at gound level around the parking lots. Sometimes the sun angle is better than at the burger joint. See newly added pictures. Congratulations to all of our players!

    Oh, and the lizard is called a "Jackson's Chameleon."
