Yesterday did an amazing sceneries flight from Las Vegas-McCarran international airport to Beijing-Capital international airport, as part of the Las Vegas flyout hosted by @Plnelovr. Beautiful Western and North Western American scenery, Canadian scenery, Alaskan scenery and Chinese scenery on descent. T’was my first long hauler in 5 months, and I did it happily enjoying the scenery. Anyways I hope the photos are enjoyable!!!
