BillD22 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Here's a series of shots of an Allegiant Air MD-83 making an early morning departure from Las Vegas (KLAS) with a load of passengers many of whom who just spent their last dime in the slots at the boarding gate :D:D:D [click on the image for a full screen view] The early morning rays of the rising sun light up the Mandalay Bay Hotel as our plane waits for takeoff clearance Lined up ready to go Off the ground. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to stay in the casino until 5:00 a.m. before leaving for the airport:D:D How soon can we order a Bloody Mary? We've got to be above 10,000 for the flight attendants to start doing their thing. Figure we're doing 2-3000 fpm in the climb. Works out to about 5 minutes. Alrighty then:D End to end view of the Vegas strip over the wing from our seat 28E Gear up! Climb checklist. The party goes on for us passengers in the back but it's all business for the guys up front Viva Las Vegas! So long. We'll win big next time for sure!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kdierken Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Real or not, can't tell. If this is simming it is unbelievable, I like the third one & last one as those two have great lighting & angles. Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillD22 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Very nice Bill, I hope you didn't lose to much money. :D Adam, Larry, Kenny & Jim - many thanks for the comments. I probably should stay away from Vegas since somehow I always manage to miss the part about "walk away when you're winning!!!" :D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingnorris Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Beautiful shots! I see these frequently at McCarran. (Except on Tuesdays; that's their maintenance day and most are grounded). I also see the occasional 757 in Allegiant colors. They're expanding their fleet! Well done Bill!

UPHILL3 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Now if we can just get Allegiant Airlines to maintain those older planes, we would not have so many flight delays or cancellations! Ah, but seriously, those are really great screen shots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillD22 Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 Thanks Phil, Uphill, and King Great shots and glad you enclosed specific descriptions on EACH of screenshots! I did not know you built liquor bar lounge in back of your MD-83 like all airlines did with their planes in old times :) If you get my drift :) Regards, Aharon Aharon: no built in bar - just regular beverage cart service. Of course by the time they get to us in Row28 the flight will be over - probably should've booked first class:D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbauder Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Beautiful shots! I see these frequently at McCarran. (Except on Tuesdays; that's their maintenance day and most are grounded).] The first time I saw the Allegiant fleet must have been on a Tuesday! I was passing through to buy a home in Utah. It looked liked the whole airline had shut down...Liked the last shot best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoggyDog Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Great series! Which MD-83 is this, and what Las Vegas and KLAS scenery? i7-10700K @3.8-5.1GHz, 32GB DDR4-2666 SDRAM, GTR-2060 Super 8GB, 2x SSDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillD22 Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 Very nice Bill, excellent soft light in these shots. John - thanks for looking & the good words Great series! Which MD-83 is this, and what Las Vegas and KLAS scenery? Hogg: Thanks! The airplane is the payware CLS MD81/82 series, the Allegiant repaint is freeware here in the library, the KLAS airport is Ray Smith's FSX freeware version. Not sure about the Vegas strip - I think its the stock FSX scenery - maybe somebody else will recognize it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
