Hi
I had to go to the US (Montana) for work last week. I added on a couple of days in LA. Here is my log from the trip.
Flying out from Heathrow we had a mechanical delay of 3 hours which meant that I knew that I would miss my connection to Bozeman that evening. It did give me a chance to log the following:-
01/08/2010 - London Heathrow
============================
9V-SWF Boeing 777 312ER 34571 Singapore Airlines
A6-EBW Boeing 777 36NER 32793 Emirates Airlines
HL7488 Boeing 747 4B5 26394 Korean Air
JY-JAG Boeing 767 204ER 24757 Jordan Aviation
VQ-BBF Airbus A330 243 1045 Aeroflot Russian Airlines
ZK-OKC Boeing 777 219ER 34377 Air New Zealand
When I got to Chicago United had kindly arranged for me to get the 6am flight to Denver in the morning rather than the direct flight 4 hours later so I got a few hours sleep at a local hotel before heading back to get my flight. The flight was heavily over sold so they were looking for volunteers to take a later flight which I took them up on. So now I had an extra 4 hours in the terminal and $400 of travel vouchers to use in the next year! I managed to log the following:-
02/08/2010 - Chicago O'Hare

Uneventful flight to Bozeman on a United A320. I then had 5 days there for work during which I managed a couple of trips to this small airport.

Friday morning meant a flight to LAX. I was staying in the Hampton Inn at LAX. I had a room on the 6th floor which faced south on to the approach for 25L - unfortunately there was a large palm tree outside my window which blocked part of the view but I still had a view but I could not see any of the airfield itself. I headed off to find Imperial Hill to take some photos.
