— — - KLAS - from atop the parking structure looking west, July 1995 - about 115 degrees shows the Las Vegas aircraft storage lot - the Mandalay Bay Resort covers most of this area left of the Luxor where the other building is, that was torn down many moon ago. I wish I had gotten the 747SP registrations, there was a road I could drive by on in that area.

Hundo...thank you and I wish I had done a better job going over there and getting different photos. I had dropped of a fellow aviation photographer (Mark Durbin at LAS for his flight to SJC) as we drove back from Phoenix AZ from the Airliners International Collectible how July 1995. Mark had never been to Williams storage FAC and had not been airside at LAS for jet photos. Though 115-118 degrees and no air conditioning in the old F-150, we ended up ontop the parking structure as shaded to get this snap. The good part was my Son David found a ladies wallet next to a car on the ground right where we took these photos. Since Mark's flight was soon, we decided to walk in and find the LAS Airport Police Office and turn the wallet in to them, as it had a large amount of cash money - credit cards and person info to find the owner. I had David(11yrs) do the Honors as he found it. The Lady Police Officer took David in the front small office and took his info and made it a real honor for him and thanked him for being honest. 2 weeks later David got a thank you note in the mail from the lady who lost her wallet with 20 bill inside and a great thank you note for David! We ended up driving home to Gilroy that night to get out of the heat....Mark flew SWA in 1hr we had 7hr drive!
