I managed to snap two frames out of the right-side window of an American Airlines MD Super 80 just seconds after take-off from runway 25R at McCarran at 7:10 AM on Sunday, September 7, 1997.

The first photo (top), though a bit blurred (not bad for a 200 mm zoom lens, 1/60 sec. exposure, and moving at 180 mph), clearly shows five Janet 737s and two King Airs on the ramp.

The second photo (bottom) was taken with a 50 mm lens a few seconds later and shows the Janet terminal (right-center) in relation to the Strip.
