Remarks: A panoramic overview of the Observation Tower at Osaka's Kansai Airport. This seems to be a very popular hangout for locals and foreigners alike, as evidenced by the newly introduced shuttle service from the main terminal.
Remarks: Is any airliner flying more beautiful than the Boeing 727? A late-evening Champion departure blasts off runway 25R toward the setting sun as night falls on Las Vegas! This shot dedicated to fellow JP.net'er Adam Wright!
Remarks: Something tells me this one isn't going anywhere anytime soon... shown missing her landing gear, engines, and tail, this classic 767 is obviously in line for the chopping block..
Remarks: Who says Los Angeles is the only airport with a cool little fast food hangout on short final? ;-) Fellow JP.net member Adam Wright clicks away as well as a Cactus baby bus approaches runway 7R at McCarran.
Remarks: "Philippines one zero six heavy, Las Vegas tower, wind one one zero at one five, gusting 23, runway seven right, cleared to land." ... this Filipino beauty is seen making an extremely rare runway 7R approach at Las Vegas due to strong southeast winds. This approach is used only 3-4 times each year, but when it is, the roof of my employer offers an unparalled viewpoint!
Remarks: Descending for a fuel stop at 1G4 aboard N31MH affords a nice overview of Grand Canyon West Airport, replete with a Scenic Twin Otter bringing tourists to the west rim.
Remarks: Having landed at the bottom of the Grand Canyon for a champagne breakfast, this shot of our transportation is afforded. Thanks for a great time, Dan -- one of the best experiences ever!
