True that. Especially on short final over Watts. If you listen carefully, you can hear the sirens.

I got lazed there recently. Again, good times.

Interesting people are asking for the RNAV visual 13 into LGA, or 19 into DCA, apparently the thrill of an old school visual is too much for some.

Company requirements, I understand.

Or even better is coming from Cali and requesting the right base to 19. Turn over the stratosphere at 3500. Better chances to get this after 2200.

speaking of Las Wages, i went in there once and was told to fly directly towards one particular hotel. no i idea where it was then or what it was now. see, the boss stayed at the MGM or Bellagio and we stayed out in Henderson, that's all i knew.

we actually went a lot, but never stayed in a casino. which was odd considering new years day the boss could make a call and get rooms for 14 people without a reservation, seems like getting sixteen wasn't that big of a deal especially if they were comped anyways.

oh well. the fine folks at signature could give us a ride to enterprise to get our green Chevy van that smelled like cat urine.

I know how you feel, I was told to go to the Stratosphere for 19L coming in from the east--the whole place is just maze of lights. We figured it out, off to the Mandalay Bay!

Old story: some pilot complained to LGA tower that clearance he received for a visual to 13 was too tight for a safe approach. Tower replied: "Most people fly up the other river."
