Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

April 27 2017 Nellis AB

Post by Ronaldsnl »

Last april i was able to include 1 full day at Nellis during a family holiday. See my log in USA movement section.

It turned out to be a great day despite the challenging conditions with temperatures rising quickly, backlight conditions in the morning when taking off over Cheyenne and patches of heatwaves everywhere even in the sky. Actually the only time to make crispy pictures was after 5PM. But hey what do you do if you see 22 different F22 Raptors from 4 different units....

Image
The TY raptors returned to their homebase

Image
These two from AK also returned but at the same time three new ones came in.

Image


Image

Image
This unit we haven't seen at Leeuwarden yet.

Image
Almost based here...

At 6pm the agressors came in, finally no more heatwaves..

I hope you like them.

A day well spent at Nellis @ Cheyenne and the Speedway! Some nice Raptor shots, but like the F-15C the most turning final with nice, soft late afternoon light on it. Thanks for sharing!
