Las Vegas - September 28 2017 - 3

Overflight of McCarran International Airport - Saturday

Saturday, September 30 - Flying back from Laughlin/Bullhead at 6,500 feet, McCarran Approach Control First granted permission for a Class B Airport overflight of Henderson Executive Airport then cleared for at or above 4,000 feet, which was 2,000 feet lower than my last overflight. Descended down to 4,100 feet. Surprisingly, they also granted a "Numbers 26-19" Overflight, which means instead of flying directly over the center of the airport, we could fly the runway ends of Runways 26 and 19, which provides an excellent view of the Strip on the way back to the North Las Vegas Airport (VGT).

Saturday, September 30 - Approaching the east side of McCarran.
