Las Vegas Airport Spotting (KLAS) Feb 2, 2013

I traveled with fellow spotter Ryan Bomar [ / ryanbomar ] to LAS from Los Angeles via the Mega Bus service. After walking about a mile, we found the perfect spot and captured a vast variety of domestic aircraft. It was definitely a day to remember.

    Great video! It’s making me feel old, and I’m only in my 20s. No more AirTran, US Airways or Virgin America. Allegiant’s MD-80s and 757s are gone. American’s shiny silver and MD-80s have vanished too. The one staple that lives on are those FedEx MD-10s. Whether 1995, 2013 or 2019, they’re always there haha!

    M Groh Yeah the MD-10s are always a treat to see. It definitely seems like yesterday that AA and Allegiant had their MD-80s still flying there. I filmed this in 2012 and that alone makes me feel old haha.

    Last 3x I've been to Vegas, had a southeast corner suite at the New York. I'd get a 6 pack and a pizza and sit in my dark room at night and watched all the planes taking off and landing. Seemed like it never stopped. Don't know why i was so intrigued watching them, but it was almost mesmerizing. Daytime was just as fun

I miss it so much. :( When I moved there in '78, Vegas, and McCarran, was so small we got off the plane in the middle of the tarmac! Stairs!! I watched Vegas grow into the metropolis it is today! I miss the old days, tho.Night flights were nothing but blackness and then BAM . A little circle of neon lights and then we were landing already. I used to watch the planes from Russell Rd. Great vid. TY~

Perfect filming angle and perspective, and the scenery in the background wasn't exactly hard on the eyes! My favourite was the United 757 landing at 5:00. I loved how the nose gear just held in midair for an extra long time after the main gear had touched down. Anyway, great job and thanks for sharing this with us.

    Never did plane spotting as such, but I worked as a rampy for Southwest Airlines at McCarran in 2005-2006 and even though airplanes were my job, it was great being around them. Always took the time to watch the Virgin flights leave. Got some nice videos of those (although I didn't have an HD camera back then) Caught some nice pushbacks from Aloha and ATA Airlines who used our C gates. Two airlines you won't see again unfortunately. Greta video you have. Thanks !
