Hello everyone. Today I made a flight leaving Las Vegas, NV KLAS. I went to me assigned runway to take off and to my surprise I was
number 5 out of 12 to take off. I sat on the ground for 3o minutes until ATC had brought a few airborne birds in and got the ones in front
of me off. So has anyone else had an experience like this at any airport around the world? I think the only other airport that I've been to
and I had a delay like this was at London's Heathrow EGLL.

Happy Landings

Its real world stuff at KLAX!

Monarch airline pilot was spitting bricks and moaning over tannoy about time on apron and waiting to T/O using gentle phrases such
as "bloddy ridiculous' " I will need a top up if this goes on..." "I mean we are flying to Gatwick LONDON!" etc etc. ON eventual T/O the 767
was turning and climbing at very sharp angles and I can just imagine language in cockpit!!!

Crazy airport!
