My brother Chris knows a great spot at McCarran to get some shots. Had to shoot through the chainlink fence but it worked.
I had just missed a Virgin Atlantic 747 land as we arrived.

Passing McCarran's Executive Terminal entrance. A lot of leers, gulfs, & Cessna private jets parked in there!

Not sure if it's just the point of perspective or not, but the winglets on that 757 look quite tall..............

I'll tell you, I wish I had my camera when I was out there.  We went sand buggy riding while out there last weekend, and the sand dune area is just north of Nellis, with great views of the whole airfield.  We had F-15, F-16s taking off right over our heads.
