Hello All,
During my Las Vegas trip, I managed some spotting at McCarran on 2 occasions-one early morning for the Janet flights, and one evening after I became fed up with runway switches at Nellis
How can any LAS thread not start with a photo of this beauty. Sadly she simply sat there tempting me, but it was still nice to finally catch the legendary Sands 747SP
The real reason I went to LAS-The Janets! Google can help out if you are curious, but put simply these planes carry the employees and contractors to places one cannot simply drive (Read Tonopah Test Range and that Area Fifty-Whatnot). It was neat to see them doing their thing at LAS, even more so when we heard them while much closer to their destination up north (see my Nellis thread for that story...)
Just a nice US Airways jet...I never shoot this airline so I figure I should start now.
Lastly for that morning, how about a Department of Justice Saab 2000? I will confess that I was somewhat shocked to see this bird on the roll. I never even knew one was flying stateside.
A day later I found myself in a parking lot near LAS shooting once more. While the planes were nose lit, it was still a good time
And the highlight, a Las Vegas Sands' BBJ on arrival
Hope you enjoyed, and keep your eyes out for another thread from this trip!
Cheers,
Nick
