KLAS - Las Vegas McCarran October 2015
I was out in Las Vegas for a business conference last week, and had some time for a little LAS spotting. First morning I went to the parking deck, they had a handful of departures off 19R, with most everything else using 25L/R. The day I was leaving, they were departing 1L/R and I was able to spend a couple of hours out there before I had to catch my flight.

I shot this, not really knowing what it was - almost looked like a C-141 across the field. When I saw it full size, I realized it was an Airbus A400M - belonging to the RAF, from what I heard later. The next morning, outside having breakfast at the conference, they departed right past us...unfortunately I didn't have the camera with me.

Not a great shot, but this is G-VIIO, the BA 777 that had the takeoff engine failure last month. It's sitting in the cargo area.

Eastern 737 - I believe this was on a college sports charter.
