Las Vegas photos can be found at - dtvimages.co.uk - LAS VEGAS -JUNE

We planned to stay in Las Vegas for a week and booked my timeshare just off the "Strip" and about half a mile from the threshold of runway 19, handy!! From the 15th floor balcony you could easily read off the biz parked at the main FBO and some liners depending on the heat haze. Once settled in I had a wander over to the FBO area and logged the following -

Basically McCarren operates using 19L/R for 90% of the Biz and the EG and G fleet and the liners use 25L to land and 25R for take off. If there is a crosswind then 19 is used for some liner arrivals. Movements are brisk and the liners are 50% Southwest with Allegiant, American, US Airways, AirTran, United, Delta, Virgin America, Alaska and Northwest making up the rest. Air Canada have 5 rotations daily using mainly EMB190s along with Mexicana, Aeromexico, Sunwing, Korean, Phillipines and Hawaiian. Biz changes daily and the based ones are linked to casinos with Sands basing 2 747SPs along with a B763, 737s and Gulfs. I was in the Mandalay Bay hotel on the first night for a meal and noticed lots of guys at the tables with Netjets Convention badges on, I soon realised why!!

The above was from a couple of hours spotting, I found a good place for shots about half a mile towards the threshold to 25L from the spotting area alongside the runway (very civilised) which allowed for logging arrivals and departures. The scanner kept me informed of movements on 19 so didnt miss much. After spending the following day on the strip we had a meal in the Stratosphere revolving restaurant, what a view!!

After another busy day it was round for another couple of hours while Mrs R was in the pool!! Netjets were leaving in there droves by now and the field was hectic, the Phillipines A340 arrived later from Vancouver and I had a good drive around the Janet fleet, this is changing to ex Air China B736s and they have five along with 2 remaining B732s.

I had planned a Helicopter trip into the Grand Canyon and today was the day, we were picked up by stretched Limo and taken to the Sundance Terminal next to one of the FBOs. I had upgraded to an EC130 which carried 6 passengers and lots of glass!!  The ride over was 45 minutes via the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead before landing on the canyon floor, fantastic stuff!! We returned over Nellis and down the strip before swooping into McCarren, what a day out!!

Nearly time for home sadly, a few nice Mexicans today and a mega thunderstorm during the afternoon!! The locals were dancing in the streets as they hadnt seen rain for 6 months!!

Off to the airport for a United flight to LAX, we caught an earlier one than planned and ended up on A319 N835UA. United still operate "Channel 9" which allows you to listen to all ATC communications, very interesting. The flight was 40 minutes to LAX and I managed to log the following before departure -

Arriving early meant a good stopover at LAX and we changed terminals and settled in. We were in the northern area so could not monitor the south arrivals and departures but it was still OK once airside.
