About 5 1/2 years ago I was in Las Vegas with some visiting friends. While
my friends kids went on the rides on top of the Stratosphere Tower, I was
watching the airlines land on 19 L&R at McCarran. It was a brilliantly
clear hot August day.

2 years ago I saw a jet Blue A320 doing S-turns on a 3-4 mile final
(IIRC). At the time I knew S-turns were normal in light aircraft but
not transport jets. Turns out it is legal. It isn't normal but
occasionally it gets the job done.
