Indeed Bollo - KC-130J - typo :)
tm74sqn - The RAF Harriers are being used for spare parts to keep the ageing AV-8B fleet in the air. I'm not permitted to show maintenance areas.
gus0898uk - spot on with location
Many thanks for your comments, it was a great experience that I will cherish for a long time to come!
Great you like them - there are a few more on my Flickr pages.
All the best,
Chris

Superb shots,been on that road along the Salton Sea quite a few times drivng to and from LA,El Centro,Yuma and Phoenix.
You can get some great shots of the Union Pacific freight rains which come rumbling along that road as well.

Stunning set Chris, I recall the preview you gave me whilst in Moscow so its great to see a full set of images. Great opportunity.

Shots 4 and 12 stand out for me though, I do like that CAG bird.

Hope you're keeping well.
Cheers
Aaron
