Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Haha, almost forgot ;-).
Thanks for all the other nice comments.
Day 1 is the last day for this report. After leaving Schiphol on time around 10.00 we arrived @ LAX around 12.00. Everything went very smooth and 45 minutes later we ended at the end of a long queue with Avis. It was worth waiting because we received the Turbo Beetle :P.
By the time we left LAX it was 14.00 so only Palmdale was an option enroute Nellis.
We saw 3 operational aircraft. A NASA Gulf and 747 and a Saudi F-15SA.
The 747 was beautifully parked in front of the NASA hangar:

Sorry for this bad pic but I hope for some confirmation that this is the 0012? (the only one with a long pitot tube?)

The closure of my report is not spectaculair but I hoped you liked it!
Sunday I leave for my next trip, I hope it will work out......
