Great shot although it looks more likely to be a B767-300

Unless the shot was taken on March 9th of this year, that is a B777. March 9th was the only date this year that UA903 was not operated by a 772. On that day it was a 763.

N644AS...also known as the Wi-Fi plane. Was heading to PHX from PDX today.
The plane for the Houston Rockets. I think. It's my best guess...it's unable to be tracked at FlightAware...and the Rockets played the Blazers today.
N952UA...not sure where it was coming from, though.

Ah...a plane full of Lucky Charms? 
Nice shots! Did you get your laptop out and see if you could catch the signal?

In all honesty though, I didn't realize it was 644 until I got home and was looking at my pictures.

Some highlights from the "Imperial Hill" on the southside of LAX yesterday. Canon 40D, 70-200/4L IS, some with Kenko 1.4x extender. Some pics are slightly cropped.
