NASA sends their people on flights and I'm told that civilians can also go, the cost is $3,000 per person (not sure how long the flight is)

qantas_A380_LAX_1109joepries.jpgQantas A380's, like thier 747-400 counterparts typically come in to LAX in the morning and are then brought to the remotes for the day until evening move back to the gates for departure (the only exception is the JFK flight performed by 747-400, which departs in the morning hours and returns to LAX in the evening). Seen here is VH-OQB resting on the hardstand as sunlight has almost completely disappeared

american__737-800_WATERCANONSALUTE_MIA_1009.jpgAmerican 737-800 receives water canon salute as it slowly taxiis out for departure. The reason for the salute was an American Airlines ground ops employee's passing in a car accident (his remains are onboard). Well over 100 employees were present on the ramp at the gate the 737 was pushed back from to show their respect. May he rest in peace

srx_an12_UK_12002_mia_1009b.jpgLook closely at the tire tread, I can assure you that you won't be seeing the same tire on any Western built airplane. These wheels and tires look like they came off a John Deere!

american_757_mia_1009.jpgThis photo was shot from several miles away (300mm with 1.4X converter) so quality is not optimal, however, the very low sun reflecting off the Miami beach condo tower makes for a spectacular light event. Please note that I did not alter this photo in any way other than slight color correction, resize and sharpen
