Remark Photographer
D-AIHX (cn 981) Over the years I have shown you many perspectives from this area, but none says it quite like this shot. The interaction between man, food, and machine is played out perfectly. A candid moment in time that says so much, as evident in each individual’s reaction. Every time I take pictures here I feel a part of the excitement, that you really need to experience firsthand. Hopefully this shot will entice you to visit, one day! Here we see LH450 from FRA on short final for 24R. Local time 16:49.

The one and only In & Out ... were else can you have a taste of A340 with your burger and fries? I live just north-west of there. Great photo Paul!

Great shot, im trying to figure out if the waiter is trying to fix the red sun shade, or whether he is trying to get a view of the plane!

A visitor from United States posted Thu December 3, 2009:
Good times spotting at the in n out!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun October 18, 2009:
Visitor from Germany: Thanks for this shot, I will definitly go there. I just wasn't sure if i should try SFO or LAX, but now, I'm really sure bout LAX and the good old IN-N-OUT Burger. Hope it tastes good. Greetings from Karlsruhe

Paul, once again I see a brilliant photo from you!
Congratulations! (S.K. from Russia)

A visitor from United States posted Wed September 16, 2009:
I was there 2 weeks ago and ate a 10x (animal style) and an animal style french fries and a diet soft drink. I missed a CRJ because I had to use the restroom after I finished eating.

Best shoot I´ve ever seen at Airliners.net...
Nice to see my Lufthansa-Bird flying and flying... 5*!!

Airliners.net should tap into that security camera on the wall for awesome live feed on the website!

A visitor from United States posted Tue August 25, 2009:
I love this shot. And I love this particular location outside LAX. Been there many times, but it excites me every time I get to go round. Great shot once again.

A visitor from United States posted Mon August 24, 2009:
Paul - Great, great shot. Couple other observations, the perfect background of a blue California sky, and the fact that no part of the plane is hidden by building, palm trees or lightposts. (There may be a single palm frond by the front wheel on the port side bogey.) But there are no obstructions, the plane is perfectly framed in time and space by everything around it. It has a Norman Rockwell feeling to it, i.e. the reaction of the people add to the dramatic nature of the subject. Besides the view the sounds of landing aircraft is really great. I know the location well and will visit there on Sep 2.

PS From your spot you must have had to watch your back for cars exiting the drive-thru.

I'm simply speechless. I think Paul's words are the best ones to describe it: "The interaction between man, food, and machine is played out perfectly. A candid moment in time that says so much, as evident in each individual’s reaction". Congratulations!

This is art men,congratulations.

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon August 24, 2009:
Beautiful shot! What a wonderful place to eat! Great job Paul. Oh and that A346 looks awesome..the best lookin' Airbus I think!!

A visitor from United States posted Mon August 24, 2009:
Seems like a typical LA scene. Half the people don't seem to care about the A340 doing 180kts a few hundred feet over their shoulder.

A visitor from - posted Mon August 24, 2009:
This one is actually from MUC; LH uses the A340-600 on its MUC-LAX leg, and the 747-400 on its FRA-LAX one. Amzing picture, excellent quality!

A visitor from Philippines posted Mon August 24, 2009:
I miss flying those LH346s!!! Used to fly them very often MNL-FRA. Great plane- loved the second J cabin that only had 10 seats and the lavs in economy on the lower deck.

A visitor from Kuwait posted Mon August 24, 2009:
Clear Sky , tasty meal , elegant aircraft ... WoOoW ! :P

A visitor from Portugal posted Mon August 24, 2009:
Lovely shot! It really shows the mood around the burger shop and near that small park across the road. I haven't tried the burgers when I went there, but the coffee could be better. 5*

A visitor from Germany posted Mon August 24, 2009:
At first I thought this is 346 is ex MUC, but that arrives 2 hrs later...

A visitor from - posted Mon August 24, 2009:
Nice shot, this shot, along with many others of you, did entice me to come to LAX, thankfully I'll be going next year!

A visitor from United States posted Mon August 24, 2009:
Great shot! A moment in time.

A visitor from United States posted Sun August 23, 2009:
This shot finally brings perspective to the In 'N Out referral. It truly is one of the best spots to watch!

A visitor from United States posted Sun August 23, 2009:
5 Stars for the burger joint. For those not in the know.. Best. Burgers. Ever!

A visitor from United States posted Sun August 23, 2009:

A visitor from United States posted Sun August 23, 2009:

A visitor from United States posted Sun August 23, 2009:
Wonderful composition, and vivid colour.

A visitor from - posted Sun August 23, 2009:
I have been there. Had my first In & Out burger ever in that same location in November 2008. Excellent photo....

A visitor from - posted Sun August 23, 2009:
I cannot believe people can actually maintain full attention to their hamburgers while such a beautiful and majestic aircraft is flying by so low. to many people take aviation for granted these days, its too bad.

A visitor from - posted Sun August 23, 2009:
Amazing in-n-out shot. Great perspective and angle.

A visitor from United States posted Sun August 23, 2009:
I am amazed at the depth of field in this shot. Using the large screen option one can see the expression on the woman's face that is at the extreme left in the shot.

A visitor from United States posted Sun August 23, 2009:
Great one Paul......knew it was one of yours instantly!

Lol, how cool must that be. Sitting in a resturant and watching some really looooooooooong plane whizz by.

A visitor from United States posted Sun August 23, 2009:
Only one of the greatest places in the world (to me)

A visitor from United States posted Sun August 23, 2009:
Nice looking restaurant.
Oh, and nice looking plane :D

A visitor from United States posted Sun August 23, 2009:
I definitely need to check out this In N Out. What could be better than to eat their tasty burgers while watching heavies coming in to LAX? Talk about spotting paradise! lol

A visitor from Canada posted Sun August 23, 2009:
Fantastic capture Paul! The best shot from this location I have ever seen. I will have to look for that 346 operating as 450 passing me over the desert. I thought this flight was only operated by a jumbo. Nice upgrade!!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun August 23, 2009:
Well done Paul, another superb shot that captures the amazing atmosphere at this, one of my favourite locations and keeps great memories for my son, wife and I well and truly alive ...I will be returning soon!

A visitor from Switzerland posted Sun August 23, 2009:
Great shot, once again! I am looking forward to visit LAX in February 2010

Great photo, that does make me want to visit there some day soon! And as a gift for In 'n' Out, I'm gonna bring a real parasol. These plastic things look like a piece of crap. ;)
