0% humidity + 110°F Spotting @ KLAS

It’s been weeks since I went plane spotting due to the non-fun environment for it Vegas typically has in the summer. But I also have never caught the More to Love A321neo in evening lighting so I took a car ride over to the airport to see it.

In other news, Las Vegas opened up the official spotting lot again after 2 years on July 1st so I’ll be spotting there soon, possibly the 10th for the Korean Air inaugural return!

UPS Climbing for Louisville.


The pilots decided to backtaxi runway 26R for an additional 150ft of runway, keep in mind 26R is a 14000ft long runway.

For a Finnish-Hong Konger who lived in Macau and prays to your Violet Evergarden shrine on an hourly basis, shut up.

Hey, 0% humidity in 110 is better than 85% humidity in 105

How much runway did they end up using?

I liked every single one of them pretty much the same. Your pictures never fail to impress!

I would say about 7000ft of it, they were just headed to SFO so wasn’t a heavy flight lol


Believe me, I visit Macau about every year during the summer and 90% humidity with 85 degree heat is already deadly lol

Atleast you are missing it right now, way worse than the last couple of years for some bizarre reason

Silly Alaska pilots. Couldn’t just simply follow the southwest line all the way.

Funny enough, I haven’t been back since 2019 due to COVID 😂


Not sure why they got to skip the line of 7 for takeoff but I was on LiveATC at the time and heard “Do you need a backtaxi?”

Pilot responds with “Yeah we will need to backtaxi.” Sigma alaska pilots lol
