I arrived at LAX late in the afternoon this day to pick up a friend. \u00a0I drove through some thick fog along PCH in Malibu and Santa Monica on the way. \u00a0“How could planes land in this murk,” I thought! \u00a0 Planes were landing though. \u00a0I was maybe 40 minutes early, and I had my cameras with me. \u00a0I parked a few blocks away from a prime landing-viewing spot along Sepulveda, near In-N-Out Burger. \u00a0Official visibility was only a quarter mile, and I could not even see the control tower at times. \u00a0But the planes kept on coming. \u00a0The fog was somewhat patchy, so the conditions tended to change quickly from kind-of foggy to not-too foggy. \u00a0The saturated air was allowing prominent vapor trails (contrails) off of the wings — WOW! \u00a0This was a bonanza. \u00a0I need to do this again.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
