McDonnell Douglas MD-88 (XA-AMS) - LAX - 25L March 1989 I was in LAX for my first airline collectible show there. I had been tipped off of the 3-4 great places to film from south side of 25L. This was known as the " Fed Ex lot" a Ford pickup truck and an 8ft ladder in the back and I was not questioned once all weekend. When Aeromexico was on final in the cloudy skies I thought this was American Airlines at first, I was looking at other jets looked back and it was my first Aeromexico MD-88 photo, almost missed it. Those photo vantage points 1989 at Imperial Terminal parking lot, Fed Ex, east end of 25L lot and the view of the TBT from the parking structure were awesome, all now gone, everyone is left with "Cluttered Hill viewpoint" now.
