March 17, 201214 yr This crap scared me a bit... lol!We had over 6 hours before our flight was to leave, and we were about to take pictures in front of the famous "Welcome to fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada" sign. As you may or may not know, McCarren airport is right next to the sign, and there is an FBO there also. As we approached the little parking area by the sign, I looked at the majestic airport. I saw multiple Southwest 737s depart, which, was interesting. But suddenly, I saw a white, 737-600ish-looking aircraft with a red stripe running across its sides depart the same runway as those Southwest 737s. Since seeing is believing, I had to take a picture of this. Unfortunately, I did not have enough time to capture a picture, so I used my phone's camera to take this:I wasn't so sure though if it was a -600 or a -200.Well anyway, that's it for this experience. i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
March 17, 201214 yr I think they use 200's. Am I correct? There is an art . . . to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss
March 17, 201214 yr Commercial Member They used to operate -200s but now its all -600s, all ex- Air China.Cheers, Jason Brown - Exterior Model Engineer,http://www.precisionmanuals.comSpecs: MSI Z97 Gaming 7 | Intel i7 4970K OC @ 4.6GHz | Gigabyte GTX970 G1 4GB | 16GB (2X8GB) G.Skill Trident | Corsair Air 540 White Case | Corsair AX750 750W PSU | 27" Samsung SyncMaster 275T+ | 27" Samsung S27D850 | 13" Wacom Cintiq | Windows 10 Professional x64

March 17, 201214 yr Commercial Member You can see these all the time if you go spotting at KLAS - they usually depart off the 1s/19s. Probably the best place in the world to see 600s. Ryan MaziarzFor fastest support, please submit a ticket at http://support.precisionmanuals.com

You should try Oslo Gardermoen ENGM, or Stockholm Arlanda ESSA. If you don't get tired of the -600 there, you'll never be. ;)
March 17, 201214 yr Probably the best place in the world to see 600s.I think Calgary Canada is the best for that :) There is an art . . . to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss
March 17, 201214 yr I work at Nellis (SF) and see these all the time at LAS :DI tried to get a job as an FA with them, haven't heard back :/ Luis Cortez

March 18, 201214 yr I think Calgary Canada is the best for that :)Agreed! A 737 or westjet junkie can surely get their fix there!
