following from my last thread regarding my recent trips to the states, here is the return photos, sorry again about the quantity of photos. Also can i say sorry for lack of approach n take off pics, in both threads, this is because i took video footage instead! so here they are..
Driving to the Airport

Almost there
 
Arrival at LAX past the huge sign on the entrance road
 
N609SW 'California One' parked up in the southwest terminal
 
The Theme Building and LAX control tower
 
under going major renovation by the looks of things
 
Tails lined up at TBIT
 
1st pic air side, Mexicana A320 and Eva 777
 
On the other side of the TBIT terminal LANs 763 CC-CZW and ANOTHER special scheme Air Chinas Boeing schemed 744 B10210
 
Close up of the tail fines, took this photo because i wanted to see what AC was operating our flight and i couldnt see the letters clearly on the tail from where i was standing so used my camera to zoom in. G-BNLX was the AC this time and D-ABVO was operating lufthansas flight to Munich
 
American 763 pushing back
 
American 752 N678AN on the gate
 
10210 being pushed back to start her long flight home across the pacific
 
Cathay Pacific 744 on the end gate
 
Across on the other side of the field, ANZ ZK-OKD being towed on to a remote stand
 
NW (DL) B752 just landed and taxiing to stand
 
back on the other side of the terminal, CZW has been pushed back
 
United 763 taxies to stand after landing
 
American MD82 N467AA and another American 763 on the gate
 
CZW starts her taxi to 25L
 
American 772 just landed 25R..
 
.. and taxies into the American terminal
wish i was the guy on the tarmac guiding her in
 
CZW lifts off
 
and then the qantas A380 landed Big%20smilei couldnt belive my luck!! 3 A380s in 1 trip!
 
N754AN being towed onto her stand
 
A380 taxies around to her stand
 
United 772 taxies to her stand, still in the O/C
 
Continental 738 taxies to her stand. After taking this shot, i realised what the time was and i hadnt even passed through security yet, not to mention that i didnt have a clue where to go! Time to run me thinks!
 
ABVO caught whilst on the travelator
 
caught this aswell whilst on the move
 
American Eagle Embraer RJ outside the American hangers
 
Almost at the gate now, NLX on stand
 
I made it to the gate just with some time to spare before boardind so thorght id try n get some shots on the 380 which was parked 2 gates down
 
VO just finished her push back from 102, getting ready to start her long flight to Munich
 
Another A380 shot
 
NLX
 
N362AA
 
N467AA Pushing back
 
Last photo before we board, took this 1 in a rush. Air Tahiti Nui A340-300

Another excellent collection of photos! Thumbs%20Up
 
I particularly liked the ones of the Qantas A380. Like you said, you had great luck catching A380s on both legs of the trip.
