Widebodies arriving @ Las Vegas McCarran International Airport 15APR07

[eric77lv]

neat! you usually never see widebodies at mccarran, just a lot of planes like the 737 because of southwest

[brownbrownson]

@eric77lv actually, you do see quite a few of them. Delta runs a few 767s in and out daily; British Airways has a daily B772 (changing to the B744 on 24JUN11); Virgin Atlantic has a daily 747 and another that operates on Sun/Thur; Korean has an A332 that operates Mon/Wed/Fri; Hawaiian has daily 767s and A332s; Philippine Air has an A343, but i'm not sure if it is daily; FedEx and their A306 and MD-10; and some other carriers that are slipping my mind. :)

[eric77lv]

@brownbrownson Oh wow, didn't know that many arrived on a daily basis, thanks for sharing!

[brownbrownson]

@tittiesprnkles do you work at Swissport? i tried getting pictures of the two VS 747s last thursday, but the wind made them go over to land on 19L/R. :/

Great video. I saw the Virgin 747 landing while driving around Vegas last May.

Isn't the FedEx plane a DC-10 not MD-10? Great footage anyway :) 5*

[brownbrownson]

@concordskijr the cockpit was modified to a more modern cockpit that was similar to the MD-11 and the modification removed the need for a flight engineer eliminating the three-man setup. or something like that. DC-10s that were modified had their name changed to MD-10.

Please fix the info on this video. They are not landing on 19R!! That would be 1R!!!
