Remarks: Here part of the Las Vegas Air Cargo Ramp is pictured. This picture is significant because the MD-11F aircraft (N576FE) arrived early just after 7:00 on 7/13/08 to LAS after reporting a maintenance issue requiring immediate repair. It was operating as FX415 out of ONT en route to MEM and was diverted accordingly to Las Vegas the nearest location. The aircraft was grounded here through 7/14/08 and was repaired during the day. The MD-11F is a rare variety almost never seen here. The DC10-10F in the second position at the gate is the regularly scheduled freighter for Las Vegas. A very good day indeed! All except the unending heat of course.
Remarks: Overview from the roof of the carparking. The famous "Strip scenerys" will be taken from this place.
Casino Luxor is now the decor.
