Superbowl 2022, (non spotting trip!)

[keithh]

I went to the Superbowl in Los Angeles with four friends who had tickets, with the intention of picking up a spare if possible. Unfortunately with the home side qualifying, that didn't happen! Anyway we got to LHR early to take a covid test and I made a few as we waited to depart.

The two Qantas were present in LAX on the 15th! We boarded our aircraft, G-STBK, and set off for LAX. On arrival I made a few as follows.

Also seen was XA-VLQ A320N which was one of the few I had seen before!
We picked up our car and set off for our Airbnb near Burbank, (the property was hosted by the singer Taylor Dayne as we were to discover). I soon found that all departures from Burbank used the north south runway and turned right over our house. I have only logged those I needed as many have been seen on previous trips.

Match today and after dropping off my mates, I parked up and went over to the stadium. As I waited to try and get a ticket I was able to log plenty as the stadium was between the two pairs of runways and close to finals.

We rose early as my two mates wanted to go to Disneyworld so I dropped them off and went to LAX arriving just before 9.30. I stayed on Imperial Hill until 2.00 and returned to Disney, picked them up, and went back to LAX for our return flight.

Yes I really like that one

Looks a good trip Keith- LA is not one of my favorite places in the States -mainly the getting around, but you always see a nice selection of various airliners- lovely pictures though. Hopefully may have a trip in 2023 when I have saved up- but not LA, maybe Orlando to see the mouse or Oshkosh.

Thanks for sharing.

Happy Days

I was in Orlando in January 2020 and I did well. It’s definitely worth getting a permit for the parking garage. I only got stopped once in three days but I would have been stuffed if I hadn’t had the permit.

Likewise Keith -have been to Orlando to see the Mouse on numerous occasions usually for three weeks and have always visited the airport on at least once a week- and have always gone to GOAA (Near to Starbucks) and obtained my Use of Facilities form to cover me for the duration of my holiday. Real handy level 9 in the car park but have to flit from side to side to get various stuff landing on the various runways- The lift is very handy also takes you down to the passenger level and the toilets- usually spent about 4-5 hours on each visit, and have never been troubled by the security albeit one guy did give me a hard time- wanted to know the in's and outs of everything- but that was just one guy. Otherwise no problems. Always take your passport though even with the permission. 

Thinking about visiting MCO next year again- on a farewell trip to the States and incorporating Atlanta and New York- but just thinking at the moment.

Happy Days

Just back from a few days at a sunny and hot LAX
Still sorting out my logs which on the first day so far are in excess of 250 made.

I'm not into photos but will provide a trip report and my experiences re travel covid etc. when logs sorted.
