Nellis AFB air show October 1979

Post by xkekeith » Sat Sep 09, 2017 3:27 pm

Have started scanning again after a summer break, my first US road trip continues. Finished walking the fence at DM, drove up to Phoenix and then a flight to Las Vegas for the Nellis air show, a relatively small affair with mainly locals and a few visitors:

Excellent, looks a totally different place back then compared with today's urban sprawl right up to the fence.
