Hello everybody,

My name is Yochai Mossi, this is my first posting in the FS2004 forums. Some of you might know me from other forums, usually the various AI forums. Recently I did a virtual spotting at LAX, this is a long opst, 114 pics in total, but I think it's worth your time, so please sit back,relax and enjoy this pics.

Scenery by Cloud9, AI from various authors (FSP/AIA/CDAI/HTAI/PAI etc...)

And to the pics:

Asiana recently started a 3 weekly 777 service to compliment the existing daily 744 flight (OZ202),Flt. 204 seen here doing its best to slow down on 25L.
