and I didn't even know it -was- Air Force One - all the stuff on the
plane is blurry
what bothered me most was the size of the plane and it's proximity to
the building
and what I already said to mike :-)
But if you showed me a photo of Air force one on the ground, without a
POTUS emerging
from it, all I'd see is "big air plane"

Recently, because of US flag respect/disrespect controversies, I read the
US governments guidelines about the display and handling of the
Stars-and-Stripes, or images of it. One of the requirements was that
representations of the flag should be imaged as if the flagstaff was on the
left, and another was that the starfield should always be on the side
nearest the flagstaff. Therefore the starfield should be on the left of the
flag on Air Force One's vertical stabiliser. Therefore the image of Air
Force One is flipped.
However, the image of the Mandalay Bay Hotel is not flipped, because the
broken windows are in their correct positions.
Therefore, the picture is a composite of a true picture of the hotel and a
reversed picture of Air Force One.
I'm Australian and saw it in about ten seconds. How many Americans would it
have taken before one spotted it. Mike Wilson is English and smelled a rat,
though I'm not sure he knows why his BS detectors trembled.

So it looks like the picture is possible after all. I was somethat thrown
by
the caption, which, as in the article Larry found, says something like "AF1
flies past the broken windows...." Clearly, it is flying behind the whole
hotel.

I also found this regarding "right turn" departures from McCarran

More likely it would be a right turn departing runway 25R.

Runway 7L/25R (the Airnav sheet has it as 8L/26R) is the longest
runway at
McCarran. Traffic departing 25R should normally go straight ahead or
turn
right.
It says traffic pattern _left_ which I would expect - away from high
population
areas. If you do turn right I would expect a very high rate of climb,
making
the pictures less possible again. Although, as I wrote earlier,
traffic
rules
may not aply to AF1. Some planes are more equal than others, it seems.

You could get that angle of view standing near the Las Vegas Village
concert
venue's Gate #5 on Giles St and have a pretty good chance that Air
Force
One
would be departing in that direction.
