These photos are great - please do post more!

I'm heading out in a couple of weeks and plan to spend a single day at the Canyon (a Thursday) and then the Friday at Nellis... tempted to spend both days at the Canyon but just no idea what to expect!

It seems that the majority of traffic is F/A-18s - i'll be glad to see anything, but an A-10 or Harrier through the canyon would be amazing.
