No, you just have to be a child to get excited when you see the planes, you have to enjoy every moment always full of peace.

Hi Michael. I experienced the same. The signal is not strong anymore after the pandemic. You can try 88.5 as well. If it doesn't work, you can try investing in a small scanner from Amazon. Hope this helps.

What was the radio station to gear the air traffic control tower? Sure, it's cool to watch the planes on flight tracker but I like to hear the tower, too. 😃👍

is the parking area open again to cvew the planes at McCarren Airport??

No, they are still closed. There is a building across the st. From there where u can park and still see the planes from a decent viewing area.

I have to travel for medical treatment and am concerned about the employee percentage rates for COVID infection at this time.

If you are taking about this viewing area, ther are no full time employees. If you are talking about the airport, it is small, but masks are no longer required as of May 2022.

Came by tonight around 6:44pm and it was closed! Super bummed! Does anybody know if it’s permanently closed now?

It might be. We have no definite answers saying it is closed, but also nothing saying it will reopen.

is the observation area open,and if not when may it possibly re-open. thank you!

I have no idea when it's opening. But you can park right across the street and watch the planes come in. I go about 5 times a week. My son is obsessed with airplanes.

What’s the best time to view lots of planes coming in

On average, there will be 1-3 planes landing a minute and 2-5 taking off a minute. (During active hours.)
