Just spent a few days celebrating a family birthday in Las Vegas but managed a little bit of spotting as well.
The following were noted.
McCarran
Noted on 16/17/18 Feb was C17 - 55150/HH
Noted on 17 Feb only was T38 - “301” / BB , presumably 64-13301
Noted on 18/19 Feb was A310 - 15004 RCAF
Also noted between the 2 hangars behind the Little Church of the West was a sandy camouflage Mi 17 but I couldn’t see an ID. Any help appreciated.
Nellis 17 Feb
A lot of the RF1 players were still on the ramps but little could be read off due to heat haze.

Re: Las Vegas - McCarran and Nellis
From the Las Vegas Facebook page it was 17-0186 US Army. The serial was on the boom but very very low viz. Looks like it flew a couple of missions over a few days and flew in via Mesa Falcon Field.
