All American Flag

Post by JonoUK » Sun May 20, 2018 9:36 am

Hi all,

Back in March I attended Red Flag for the first time and as it approached the visiting nations all dropped out and the home team turned up in force (while also coinciding with Green Flag). If I learned anything from Nellis it is the there's no guarantees photography wise, with two runways and no consistency of which ends are in use its often anyones guess. The week was combined with a couple of days in the canyon where we didn't see the high number of passes in neighbouring weeks but we were treated to some rare items and interesting passes none the less. On with the shots.

Stunning! That dusky A-10 has some beautiful colour. Shot 19, the Growler, always amazes me just how much the stores pylons angle outwards.
