Geoffrey Thomas

By Geoffrey Thomas Sun Jan 26, 2020

Fog is a constant problem at airports such as Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and San Francisco. Our camera captures the problem from an Air New Zealand Boeing 777-300ER on Friday, January 24 at LAX. The fog rolled in from the sea about 9 pm just as our 777-300ER, NZ1, was being pushed back for the flight to Auckland. SEE, Boeing's 777X has taken to the skies At the eastern end of the airport where the take-off roll starts it's clear but as the 777 powers down the runway the foggy areas increase significantly. Watch the foggy take-off below.
