What a bummer for the number crunchers... I believe this rule is only for AMC, not for ANG, USAFE and so. Not only for the number crunchers, when you photographed one, you basically have 'em all.. I respectfully disagree. The so called 'chrome' F-22s and F-35s being an obvious exception. Pods and o...

Any idea if the spots at E. Cheyenne are still accessable? Any shot listed here as from 'Cheyenne' were from E Cheyenne, between Nellis and Devry. Nellis Meadows Park is being renovated and is still closed. If you're talking about E Cheyenne on the far side of the golf course (say around Hollywood)...

I am SURE they will stick to the 'all women' plan. Now, whether the spare aircraft will also be crewed with women is another thing. The -147 crew has to be bummed. They got all the early press, now they are the back-ups. Bonus points to VAQ-129 for bringing a color bird. Hhmmm, have to see if some/a...

On Monday the 6th I caught U-28A 07-0829 landing on runway 29, pix in the photo sub forum.

Glad to hear you like the shots. I was very happy to catch the 65th Aggressors F-35.

Already making plans for 23-2 and the Israelis.

Victorville A difficult airport, especially when there is not much time... As always, additions, comments and corrections are welcome. That’s all folks! Patrick Dirksen Tristar Aviaton We were at Victorville the Saturday of the Edwards air show (12th I think). We had been over at the dirt hill on t...

Thanks for looking. As always, if a carrier goes out, the jets almost always come in. Actually, the Vinson is still out, and the last 3 days have been very quiet.

Luke AFB social media has pix of a VFA-97 Warhawks F-35C (NE 403) as one of the flyover birds. All the press releases list VFA-147 as the supplier of the F-35C. I just hope we get a close up on Sunday so we can see who actually flies.
