I must have been there the same day as you, saw all these at Gateway in March 2018, super selection

I didn’t think they were taken any time lately. But the weather has been the same the last few weeks. As for the shots you took with the hangars in the back ground be careful next time they have been cracking down big time over in that area cops all over the place when aircraft are parked over there. As someone from and unnamed country jumped the fence and went out and took shots of them up close on the ramp and got busted. Just ruining it for everyone else one reason I don’t go over there anymore. Even in the park they are cracking down on ladders next to the fence.

Thanks for the images Kevin, I used to go to Williams Gateway a little about 20 years ago.
That C-130 looks like it just flew out of The Boneyard.

Very nice images. Glad to see they do have some dull weather over there at times!

Great to see some Harriers again

That Flying Fortress is a peach

Thanks all for taking the time to comment

Technical question for those in the know. Lovely pics altogether, but I notice that Av8 '04' has a different nose cone to the others, in fact it looks very like a Sea Harrier nose cone. Can anyone enlighten me please?

I agree with Paddyboy & The Phantom, So nice to see the Harrier, also like the others as well but not as much.

From Wiki
AV-8B Harrier II Plus
Similar to the Night Attack variant, with the addition of an APG-65 radar and separate targeting pod. It is used by the USMC, Spanish Navy, and Italian Navy. Forty-six new-built aircraft were assembled from 1993 to 1997

Great set of photos there, love the AV-8s.

Nice set, good to see the Harrier again, pity we were stupid enough to get rid of ours.
