Vegas
I had some good time off and had a great Christmas but now back at it. This trip is the Las Vegas shuttle. I flew from Minneapolis to Las Vegas on to Detroit spent the night and back to Las Vegas for a short few hour to fly the red eye back to Minneapolis. The Red Eye is the all night flight. You leave at about 3 am Minneapolis time and get in at 6 am. Wow am I tired. I did get some cool pictures. Las Vegas is very unique as it is an Oasis in the middle of nowhere. At night it is spectacular as it looks like the Disney light parade all lit up. Click on the video to see.
The flight out is very cool. You fly over the Rockies and they are always beautiful. We are at 35,000 feet and they still look so close.
On the way in just outside of Las Vegas we flew by the Hoover Dam. Kind of hard to see, but if you follow the water to the left you will just be able to see it.
Las Vegas is surrounded by mountains and it is very different seeing a city surrounded by mountains like these. The first picture you can see the city and mountains lying around it. The second picture you can see the mountains that are off the end of the runway. We takeoff and turn to gain altitude to fly over. Makes for great views.
Well home soon and back to the cold winter on Minneapolis. The weather shows it -10. I cant wait to see ya. Stay warm!
