 | This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

That is a fairly tricky place to take pics from. If you go further down Sunset Blvd you can get them landing higher up and you don't need ladders. I do like these shots though. Love the Allegiant with the Las Vegas strip behind. Nice Alaska retro and Jetblue NY Jets !StMaartenpiloot wrote:great airport, nice airliners.
Did you spot from the outside the fence?
Why tricky? Itvis an official viewing location. Even visitors sre invited to tune their car radios to monitor atc.. Both airside ops and police patrol the location frequently, and do not have any objections as long as you will stay 4 feet away from the fence.. And why take anonomous landingshots while there is a superb place to catch the aircraft in action with that stunning Vegas background.culpano wrote:That is a fairly tricky place to take pics from.

I was only looking at the photos and didn't read your texttonjochems wrote:Yes , see the text in the top of this message. All pics are taken from the outside.. Sunset boulevard Las Vegas. But you must have either a big ladder or like we did, a pick up truck and 4 step ladders in the back of the pick up truck.
Yeah I agree with the backgrounds. In my opinion it is tricky as you need a ladder. I can't carry a ladder with me in hand luggage can I and also I wouldn't fancy trawling a ladder across the USA. It is trickier taking pictures from the rung of a ladder than on the ground. I didn't realise it was an official spot.tonjochems wrote:Why tricky? Itvis an official viewing location.

I wish I'd have known this to be honest. I thought the authorities would be against people with ladders. I have heard people talk about this spot and that ladder required but I thought it wasn't allowed. Also I didn't realise you can buy mini steps that fit in suitcase. Thanks for tip. I will show my Vegas shots later (with anonymous backgroundtonjochems wrote:Well a tip, buy a mini ladder, 4 steps is enough. It will fit in a normal suitcase... Fill it up with your clothes andvyou are done
