On a recent trip through LAX, I had a 6 hour layover due to change of planes between different airlines. Decided to satisfy my craving for an In-N-Out burger, so I went to the famous one at the end of one of the runways at LAX on Sepulveda Blvd. The restaurant sits almost exactly at the end of one of the runways, and some of my LA friends said it is tradition to snap a photo of the sign and a landing plane together. Easier said than done due to the fast speed planes are still traveling when they are about to touch down. Anyway, after 7 or 8 attempts, this one came out OK. I got the whole plane and the sign in the photo.
