Vintage LAX Ghost Town Pictures

A reader recently commented about the "Ghost Town" near LAX.

A view of the "Surfridge" area while arriving to the East on the North complex.

I seem to recall an incident in a '63 T-Bird in this area... 

This shot by LBBC shows what was the premier spotting location at LAX back in the day. We spent many hours there. 

A warp in the fabric of time allowed us to briefly revisit the site back '07.

Airplane Spotter

Today we pay tribute to the unsung hero of aviation, The Airplane Spotter.

Often branded as terrorists or labled as criminals, they continue their eternal mission to identify and document the movements of millions of aircraft around the world every day.

It is the fervid work of Airplane Spotters that has weaved the tapestry of aviation history as we know it, ever since the Wright Brothers first flew at Kitty Hawk.

The faceless and nameless spotter above is shown pointing out N663US (c/n 23818/715; 747-451); the very first Boeing 747-400 to enter service back in February 1989.

Today and forever, the Airplane Spotter will serve as a beacon of light against the tyranny brought about by tens of thousands of incompetent and maladroit rent-a-cops who are all chronically infected by severe and deeply entrenched personality disorders.

To all of the Airplane Spotters around the world, we offer a simple "Thank You."
