The hotel may have been close to the airport, but from the news coverage we learn that the shooter was able to fire rounds that struck fuel storage tanks on the airport. This means the fuel storage would be visible from the side of the hotel with the broken windows. Air Force One appears to be on the other side of the hotel. As the hotel is on the Las Vegas strip, and not in the middle of the airport, this strongly suggests that to get such a photograph isn't actually possible. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
