Airbus A380-800 (G-XLEG) - G-XLEG just after lifting off on runway 25L. I found this photo when I was going through an old folder from a trip to LAX a few months ago and it was one I had skipped over at first because there was a big tree blocking the rest of this ac, and I figured cropping that much out would really degrade the quality of what was left, but I was bored last night and decided to try and save it and the result was not great, but still presentable.

The Spirit Airlines Airbus has turned off the same runway (25L) that this BAW A380 is taking off on and is waiting to cross the right runway. Two local icons are visible in this photo... right above the British Airways title are the LAX arches and the second is the terrible Southern California smog in the background.
