In October 1980 I worked a trip with a mid-morning departure from Las Vegas, giving me a chance to show up at the airport a little early, stand on the TWA ramp under a wing or tail, and shoot pictures in perfect sun with airplanes coming and going between overnight parking, gates and taxi for takeoff; it was a regular parade. First off, American 727-223 N860AA poses in that nice low sun.
