In my opinion one of the unfriendliest airports in this world is LAX. It has 9 terminals, some of which have not seen a significant update since the early 60’s. The terminals aren’t connected and it’s a pain in the arse to move from one to another. They are doing some much needed building work there, and it really needs updating.
Taking the shuttle bus between terminals I passed this, a 747 sitting in the tarmac next to an A380. I worked the 747 production line for a few years and it’s a big airplane, it’s a magnificent piece of engineering. But the scale of the A380 is astounding.
I’ve seen A380’s on the ground at Heathrow, Tokyo, Frankfurt and one or two other airports, but somehow never got the scale of the thing until today. It really is huge and I’ve discovered something cool about LAX, a good day.

Those are big airplanes, I’ve not seen them sitting on the ground next to each other before to compare like this. Good spot.
