LAX - where special liveries abound

Los Angeles International Airport may not be the frequent traveller's favourite airport (certainly from an international point of view, the immigration times can be very lengthy), but for aircraft photographers, it's one of the best in the world. With such a diverse range of airlines and types visiting LAX, and it being one of the busiest airports in the world, it won't be long before you encounter an airline's special 'themed' livery. Here are a selection all seen on one Friday in April.
