    About 15 or so feet away from me at the closest point. A truly awesome sight! Originally saw it from the La Tijera entry point off Westchester, and later as it made its way down to the the parking lot off La Tijera & Sepulveda where it was displayed for a few hours.

    Here's a pretty good slideshow of the daytime stuff after they moved it from the parked display area.

    Awesome, indeed! Apparently, the amount of weight that transporter can carry is pretty wild.

    My first view at ~3:50am (in a darkend residential street) was the tail cresting over a roofline as it went from Westchester to La Tijera. Ominous!

    I'm sure I will see it Tuesday when I go to the Natural History Museum for a benefit luncheon, since the CA Science Center is next door.

    Saw it yesterday in its new hanger at the CA Science Center. They are still prepping and closing the building. Should be up for public viewing soon.
