A380s + 1: Qantas Planes @ LAX (16 May 2020)
FWIW - was driving along Pershing Drive and saw the A380s currently being stored @ LAX on west side of the airport at the Qantas service hangar. Took the turn onto World Way West and took a few photographs through the fence:
Also, there was one two engined aircraft in the hangar that I wasn't able to get a good shot of.

Did you use a zoom lens to get that close or are they so up close and personal from the perimeter fence?
I kind of imagined US airports had a moat around them these days with barbed wire, guard dogs and piranhas in the water to stop people getting close!

But, I do suspect that there's barbed wire atop the fence. And, given that this is Southern California, we're a bit short of sufficient water to effectively support a decent piranha population unfortunately...
