A state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result.

Happy 10-11


Special Thanks to Jon Proctor for the use of his photo! He has some incredible classic LAX pictures on his website HERE .

N189PA

1971 Gulfstream II, c/n 108.

Don't look for this one on lesser websites like Jet Photos or Airliners, they don't have it.

Delivery Flight Wave

            

Cargolux delivery flight to Seattle and Luxembourg. 09/30/14. 747-8F LX-VCJ.

Name That Airport #627

Good luck, because we don't remember! Sometime in the 80's possibly.

The "W" is a clue, and apparently every plane parked there has tip-tanks.
