Approach from the northwest into Los Angeles Intl Airport (LAX), landing on runway 24R. Some great shots of the city, albeit a bit hazy. Date: June 17, 2024 Flight: Lufthansa 452 Aircraft: Airbus A380-800 Seat: 53K
I love aircraft. This one looks like it was in the sky for a period before it landed at an airport. Everything looks so small on the ground before the landing and then it was normal size. I've never been to America or Los Angeles....it looks so realistic in this video.
When I was plane spotting with mine dad there I went there beacuase I had an appointment for modeling there so I went plane spotting and saw your plane I saw 8 a380's that day and I went to the Hollywood stars
Isn't it amazing how long it takes from touching the tarmac @16:59 min. until they EVENTUALLY reach their terminal, which we don't even get to at the end! I never realized the size of LAX. That's like the diameter of a small town in eastern Ukraine. I think one benefit of the slow rolling, aside from safety reasons, is aiding the cool-down of the engines, like a racehorse upon finishing the race.
Great video. I watched a Lufthansa A-350 landing from a distance, at KSAN (San Diego Lindbergh Field) last week. I believe they may have brought their once daily from Frankfurt into San Diego with a A-380, but I could be wrong, it might have been the A-330. In your video, at 16:45 you can see In 'N Out Burger.
Thank you! Lufthansa don‘t fly the A380 to KSAN, the Airport would be much too small for that. As off today Lufthansa only flies to San Diego with the A350 from Munich. But I think they did once use the A340-300 for their flights from Frankfurt, but that route has been canceled. Cheers!
@@muechri1409 --Thank you, I stand corrected. After reflecting about that airplane/airline, I do in fact remember it was an A-340-300, with 4-engines. It was cool to see. At the time, I lived on about 12 miles east of KSAN, and so they often flew over on downwind, or sometimes starting a base leg turn for the approach into KSAN's RW27. I also had the treat of seeing British Airways and their B-747 daily into San Diego. I believe right now they are using a B-777, as I saw that on FlightRadar24. I always admire Lufthansa and their record as an airline, as I do British Airways too. Take good care.
LA is a horrible case of Euclidian zoning where there are miles on end of residential areas with nothing but houses, not a single grocery store or a park in sight. Also, everyone drives, nobody walks because you will look suspicious, as if you were planning what house to break into. What a horrible place to live!
Would love to be heading to Germany from Denver on the way to Crete this October on a Lufthansa A380 but they have me on a bunch of smaller planes both ways. The A380 seems like the smoothest plane ever. One day maybe.
WOW ! TOP Landung meine Herren ( und Damen??) !! In einem EMIRATES 380 hätte der Kapitän aus 10 mtr.Höhe das Teil einfach auf die Landebahn krachen lassen dass es nur so scheppert!! Zur Info!
Ok, interssanter Anflug von Norden aus. Normalerweise geht es über ANJIL4 rein. D.h. man fliegt über die Mojave Wüste, an Bernadino Bergkette und dann einmal quer über die ganze Großstadt. Aber hier ging es irgendwie über Big Sur (?) und so. Sehr nice.
So selten ist der Anflug nicht, es ist der Standardanflug für alle Nordpazifikflüge nach Los Angeles. Halb Nevada ist Sperrgebiet (Groom Lake/Nellis), das muss umflogen werden. Fliegt man wetterbedingt eine nördlichere Route kommt man über Reno/Lake Tahoe westlich an diesem Sperrgebiet vorbei, und fliegt von dort weiter Richtung Fresno bevor man nördlich von Oxnard in diesen Anflug übergeht.
indeed impressive approach... but for other reason to me offcorse. how much bigger is LA gonna get?!?!? its absolutly compact. no space for nothing. its scary and worring :S
That's fog you're seeing, which is very common in the area this time of year, especially where LAX is (it basically borders the ocean on the west). Smog alerts are very rare. This isn't the 1970's anymore. The one downside is the heat inland during and around summer. Pay us another visit. :)
@@Christin5554 Over the decades the emission standards of automobiles has got stricter and stricter, so that has helped. Now, come the 2030's, most new cars will probably be electric. For the best air, come in winter. Cool and crisp. See you soon. :)
24L has been closed since I believe March this year, LAX is undergoing some major modifications, with new taxiways being built in the north part of the airport. It is supposed to reopen shortly, in July 2024.
