Far West'09 : "Fast Forward" 4/8 (HD 720p)

Are you ready for departure on runway 07L at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport (KLAS) ? You will fly few miles eastbound for Henderson Executive (KHND, Nevada). Then watch your step : you will overfly THE Grand Canyon and Marble Canyon. And the day will end with a smooth landing at Page Municipal (KPGA, Arizona).

Part 4 of several videos taken during our "Far West'09" trip in June'09 all along the US west coast until Canada. All videos are HD (Sanyo Xacti HD1000) recorded with realtime communications (onboard and with ATC thru a barnstormer cable bought at Aircraft Spruce). Most of ATC communications are subtitled. Check Music credits at the end of the video.
