First time was at KONT. These aren't very good because I don't really have a good camera. These i think are the best for me.

Yup right at the In-n-Out. Perfect spot to see the giants. Unfortunately i didn't get any on tape or took shots.
Here is the story.
My dad and I were at the park for around 30min. Both of our goals today were to see heavies. We saw 767s, 757s, A330s, and a whole lot of 737s but no 747. We stood there for a while and got tired. We decided to pack up the video camera and head towards another spotting site. we got to the truck that was parked right at the In-n-Out and with our amazement we saw a 747. We already packed up the video camera and camera so we didn't have a chance to take a picture. We were so frustrated. We set up again at the same spot waiting for another 747. We waited for 30min shooting pics and video. We didn't See any 747. SO we packed up and drove down the street parallel to the runway. at around 20 seconds into the trip on the road we saw clearly a 747-400 land right to our left side. This time I am mad. I don't know what but is this a case of bad luck?
Now as we got to the second spotting spot we set up and did everything. So as we packed up to go home we saw a 747-400 takeoff right in our faces. Again we did not have a chance to record it on anything. Luck was not on our side.

Heh. If you want to see some seven-fours, get there around 8am. Before my flight back to Newark, I went and caught the EVA Air, Korean Air, JAL and United seven-fours.
I don't mean to hijack your thread...

The EVA and United weren't upload-worthy.

One of my personal favorites too.
They turned right after i took this at the same time. It look as if they were dancing. Just beautiful.
