As a big fan of aviation I make sure that I have a camera with me whenever I’m near an airport. Sometimes I’ll even make a special trip to an airport especially if it has a viewing area.
There’s one such viewing area alongside Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas. For those of you familiar with the city, the viewing area is on Sunset Road towards the east end of the airport. Here you will get a very clear view of aircraft landing on runway 26L. Below are a few shots that I captured recently.
Below is a short clip of my flight into LAS two days earlier
Hopefully you enjoyed seeing these airplanes as much as did.
As a collector of “all-things-airplanes” I’m always looking at the mechanics and logistics of how a group of aviation professionals launch aircraft in the air and reel them back in when ready to settle back to earth.
Among these professionals are many talented men and women working in precision in the airport towers to make it all happen.
Below is my collection of some of the places where these air controllers work.
While flying, my preference is to sit by a window so I can see the earth’s sights.
I’ve flown enough that I can recognize when the aircraft is passing over an airport. One of my “hobbies” is to photograph and then later try to identify the airport.
Below are a some of those airports which I’ve been able to photograph. For the aviation buffs among you, I’ve included the airport identifier.
If you’re interested in how I am able to identify airports, here’s a link to my other site where I show you a few of the techniques: https://stayfocusedpress.com/?p=13070
