I was flying into Van Nuys this morning IFR when ATC told us to look 11:00
and we should be able to see the new Airbus's making its first Flight into
LAX. I took a few pictures.

I Tivoed the local news covering the landing at LA. If you can find
any on the web, it's interesting.

The wind was pretty calm, but the captain was working the rudder a LOT
on landing, and it got significantly sideways on touchdown. Very odd.


Noticed that as well, I figured it was a crosswind.


I was watching the right and left wings flexing during the touochdown
and rollout.
