Scary fact...
When that plane came off the assembly line, NONE of the structures in the background had been built..

Awesome photo, but that’s a pretty steep approach angle, due to obstacle avoidance, noise abatement, & all kinds of local area restrictions that have nothing to do with flight safety.
Diving & flaring on final in an A/C that size can get dicey in a hurry.

Flaps the size of BARN DOORS and ailerons to match. What a wing. She looks so much better with turbofans.

At that angle, so close to the ground, the pilot has a future in crop dusting.

That pic does not look “right” The Vegas hotels are a long ways from Nellis. They must use some trick photog to get that look

My former condo is in the background - I used to watch the action at Nellis through binoculars from the 20th floor. The Thunderbirds are a lot better up close, though. :)
