PDP #276: A Line to the East

It took a bit of work for me to figure out the nature of this photo, since there are a good many airlines that don't fly into Toronto Pearson and thus I'm unfamiliar with. Photographed from East Los Angeles in December 2009, this is a China Eastern Airlines Airbus A340 - I'm not sure how to tell if it's an A340-300 or A340-400 - ascending from Los Angeles International Airport through what looks to be a rather calm sky. It was easy enough to figure out where it would have been going, though; from LAX, China Eastern connects only with Shanghai Pudong International, one of the airline's two hub airports.

Kind of makes me nostalgic for Aerobiz Supersonic.
