Hmmmm impressive....I just may have to venture to BUR to see that. I'm sure it won't take much for me to get 'LUV' sick after a few LUV arrivals.But the 'turn off' is certainly worth a visit. Lauda had two charters here last year..both 767-300s. As for Avianca..personally I get the feeling that Avianca should it rise again, will morph into LAN Colombia or something along those lines. But as long as we remain the premier 747 airport in the US..I won't miss the A342s or A333s... A343s /A346s will do as will A332s for A333s. We were the only US airport with 773 service....it appears KE is pulling them out and replacing KE 001 with 744s.

The reason is how insanely close the terminal is to the main landing runway. The WN planes get off the thrusters and just make a right turn into their gates. It is a trip to watch. You are right about the view from the top of T3 parking at LAX. I went there one of the first nights Cathay flew in the 346. I have not been there to see Citrus yet, but it is fun seeing almost every major Boeing or Airbus plane that flies (A342, A333 (for now), and F-100 being the only major exceptions). I too wish we could still see Lauda or Avianca
