Vegas Heavy Aircraft is a Las Vegas planespotting channel specializing in widebody airliners and military heavies at Harry Reid International Airport (LAS/KLAS). Over the years I’ve filmed thousands of arrivals and departures, most from the Spottermobile, a custom-built elevated rig that gives clean, fence-over sightlines. Every clip prioritizes sharp detail, steady framing, and smooth motion.
From the rumble of a fully loaded Boeing 747 touching down on a cold winter evening to an Airbus A350 on final at sunset, these videos put you right alongside the biggest jets to visit Las Vegas. Expect C-17s and other military heavies, special livery appearances, pilot-requested footage, and the occasional behind-the-scenes look at how the shots are made.
If you’re into heavy jets, you’re in the right place. Pure aircraft footage with ambient audio, no commentary, in 4K at 60 fps.
Video Summary: Enjoy nearly four hours of nonstop heavy‑jet action at Las Vegas, captured from January through June 2025. Featuring a variety of wide‑body airliners, military transports, and special‑livery heavies.

“Heavy” is an ATC designation for aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of 300,000 pounds or more. These include widebodies like the Boeing 747, 767, 777, 787, and Airbus A300, A330, A340, A350, and A380. Because of their size, they need extra separation to avoid wake turbulence — and they’re some of the most impressive sights at Las Vegas (LAS).
Planespotting is the hobby of watching, photographing, and tracking aircraft. Spotters record aircraft types, airline liveries, registrations, and catch special or rare visitors. At Las Vegas (LAS), it’s especially rewarding thanks to regular widebody service, occasional military traffic, and rare VIP heavy jet arrivals.
Pilots: if you’d like me to capture a specific arrival, departure, or approach, email me at contact@vegasheavyaircraft.com. Please include your callsign, aircraft type/registration, estimated arrival or departure time (Pacific Time), and a brief note confirming you give permission to film and publish the footage. I’ll do my best to accommodate requests when it’s safe and lawful to do so — I cannot accept requests that would interfere with ATC or airport operations.
