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.

Nellis Red Flag 18-3 Colombians

Post by xm717 »

Hi guys (and galls)
after my trip to Alaska last summer I decided to fly home via Las Vegas, mainly because Red Flag 18-3 would be on and the Colombian Kfirs were expected. I don't like the extreme summer heat, but what do you do. In the end there were some extreme weather warnings broadcast on tv, with temperatures well in the 110s (45°C). Anyway, the Kfirs showed up, and so did some extra Colombians.

Apart from these nice visitors, the RF was very normal and yielded only a few of the standard types. I was happy with the BUFFs though.

Still not a bad stopover, and good to talk to some real Americans again, better than all the hyped up stories on tv.
A few more photos are on my site. More to follow (one day), this was just a quick selection because I couldn't find another photo report on this forum.
Greetings Michael
