| 785359 | 2009-06-24 05:03:00 | Very cool. :p Now what on earth is it doing there? I used to live in Huntington Beach, California, and that's an approach vector for Orange County Airport/John Wayne Airport which is about 8 miles to the ENE of there. That is the famous "Surf City" beach of Jan & Dean fame right below it. |

| 785360 | 2009-06-24 05:04:00 | 8 miles...ok. I didn't look that far away for an airport, I thought the plane was very low. Would it be an A300? |

| 785361 | 2009-06-24 05:07:00 | Prolly - I don't recognize the colors of it or any aircraft much any more either. They have come-n-gone, went into business and back out again so fast here in the US that they have temporary paper logos duct-taped on the wings. They don't even re-paint them. |

| 785362 | 2009-06-24 05:09:00 | Actually, I don't think the A300 has the upswept wing ends. I was thinking of the A340 but that's a 4 engine plane. Boeing didn't do any planes like that... How about an A330? www.sasgroup.pl |

| 785363 | 2009-06-24 05:12:00 | They put a lot of the Hoerner tips on planes for OCA/John Wayne because they generated such high powered sheers and vortex disturbance that they were flipping private aircraft over on their approach even 5 minutes behind a "heavy". | SurferJoe46 (51) | ||
| 785364 | 2009-06-24 05:19:00 | Crikey, that'd give you a fright. | wratterus (105) | ||
