ATL-LAS

[iwannaflySC]

Ok ... I was going to post some pics of a recent trip to Vegas, from Atlanta's Hartsfield to McCarran Int'l.  For some reason, only this particular picture of mine is showing up.  I've tried uploading others ... with different names, but none of them shows up when I preview! Wierd .... anyway .... enjoy!



A busy day at Hartsfield!

The others do this ...



 I've checked the spelling, and even tried to upload different filenames ... to no avail.

Both Great shots

The first shot is awsome! Where were you when you took that picture?

Atlantas always busy. I cant stand the airport. Great pictures, nice to see the new/classic scheme on the Delta plan.

I forgot to mention that they are nice shots considering that I imagine they were taken through an aircraft passenger window.

Please note that the first image you posted was 156k, well over the forum limit. I ran it through IrfanView at 95% compression & reuploaded it to stop it being deleted. It's now just 57.8k. I don't think anyone will see the difference.

Hagar ... thanks so much!  I didn't think about the file extensions.  And after looking at the files again, I realized (a little too late) that the traffic image was over 100k.  Apologies ... you know, everyone on here extolls the virtues of irfanview.  Time to check it out!  The others (which are coming up in a second) are all below 100k (cross my heart!).  [And this is just another example of just what a friendly neighborhood these forums make! ]

Glad y'all liked the others ... the aircraft we flew was the "Spirit of Delta," which, a flight attendant informed us, was "purchased with the help of Delta employees."  And yes, these were taken through a window -- I was quite surprised at the quality as well!  Ben: I took these last Sunday, Jan 2 on a trip out toVegas with some buddies.

As I said -- a few more coming up.  :)

Here's a line of Delta tails as we taxi to the runway.



A Delta DC-9 taking off just ahead of us ...



And finally .... we're crossing Vr!



Enjoy y'all!

Very cool!

Very cool pics, love the runway curve.

Does Delta have a hub in Atlanta?  :P

Really amazing quality for thru-window shots. Very nice composition on the first one, and the third!! That HUMP is crazy- I've been to Atlanta and never seen that. Wild...

[beaky]

Yah -- I loved the curve too.  I don't think one feels that while hurtling down on the take-off roll.

Delta? A hub? In Atlanta? Surely you jest ...

Doesn't EVERYBODY have a hub in Atlanta? It's gotten so you can't fly from NYC to Boston w/o a stop in Atlanta...
