Taking off from Las Vegas w/Virgin Atlantic

Posted on June 4th, 2010 by admin in taking minutes | 25 Comments »

Taxi for take off runway 25R at McCarran International airport. Virgin Atlantic flight 44 to Gatwick. “Pretty Woman” G-VROY. This video was taken from seat 55K, taken on 12 May 2009.

Sorry for shaking the camera, it was tremendously rough for the first 10-15 minutes of the flight. What do you expect taking off from Vegas? lol

The in-flight entertainment wasn’t working for a good amount of seats on the plane (including mine). It was a long, tiring, boring flight. Up until the approach to Gatwick :-)

Note the FedEx A300 landing on 25L.

    i’m for sure that KL had the summer schedule fixed with service to LAS with the ’47s. i thought that was sticking for good. i agree, it’s really cool to see them around here! it’s a good variance from VS..

    Was it originally a 747? I’ve been seeing the 777 for as long as I can remember. It’s nice to occasionally see their 747 come in… mix things up a bit!

    Buddy of mine went to Seoul last summer on the 747… both ways too… it was odd.

    Yeah, we get a nice variety of aircraft and airlines at LAS. British Airways started up flights from egll-klas back in October with the 777-200. If you’re lucky, you’ll see a Korean Air 747, usually they send the 777. Philippines Air sends an A343, Aeromexico stops by, Mexicana, etc. JAL used to come here but not anymore (to my knowledge..).

    Today I saw a C-5 Galaxy come in… which was absolutely epic.

    Other than that, its pretty much a boring airport when it comes to domestic. haha

    Wow….for one thing, I don’t live in Las Vegas. I never go to Europe, and I don’t fly Virgin Atlantic. I care more about the airline I actually fly on, which is United
