Nikon Wednesday 2023: #17

Note: Consider keeping uploads no larger than 1600 pixels on the long side when it matters, and sticking with 1000 pixels when the image feels no pain at that resolution. On data size/compression, try to keep things under 1mb, shooting for 600kb when you can stop there. Note that this includes photos hosted off-site (at Flickr, Photobucket, your own site, etc). New to this thread? The general guidelines for these Wednesday threads are right here: https://www.photo.net/forums/topic/398109-guidelines-for-nikon-forum-wednesday-image-threadsFor now, we're sticking with 1, 2, or 3 images per week as you see fit.

I spent part of this last week working on a video project with a Chinook pilot as we put together some visualizations for a trade show display. Talking with him reminded me of this shot of this CH-47 doing a sunset pass over the Pentagon parking lot while I was shooting some flyovers a couple years back. That machine puts the chop in chopper! Looking forward to this week's Nikon Wednesday contributions. Go!

LAX (Los Angeles International Airport) in the 1970's? 1980's? That "spider" control tower is still there, but I think there is a new, taller one next to it now. I lived in Los Angeles for over a decade and went to that airport quite often.

That photo was taken in 1982.  I think at one point it was a restaurant.  Also, on a trip through the airport a couple years ago I think I read that the structure/building was closed for renovation.

Something is always closed and under reconstruction at LAX. I try to stay away from it.
