ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Usually the last to return each day, a couple days she came back AFTER sun down

Illinois ANG finishing off the Sin City Visual arrival


Departures -- all Flex all the time


Image
I had the shot, there was no danger, so I took it.



Image
Never saw an open lift fan door, on take off or recovery, but that was OK



Image



Image
The jet IS in a hard bank, I just happened to be shooting straight across his wing



Image
I think that's unburnt fuel being dumped after burner shutdown? Never seen vapor from that location on a raptor before



Image



Image
Given that I shoot recoveries at home almost exclusively, I was SO happy to catch Growler take offs for once

Recoveries

My Precious! ...at Cheyenne

over Speedway

Another Speedway...BTW, he's missing the 'CF' on his other tail

Cheyenne, headed for 3R

Glad to hear you like the shots. I was very happy to catch the 65th Aggressors F-35.

Already making plans for 23-2 and the Israelis.

Hi.

Very interesting trip report.
Any idea if the spots at E. Cheyenne are still accessable?
Am thinking of going to RF 23-3.
Thanks

Any shot listed here as from 'Cheyenne' were from E Cheyenne, between Nellis and Devry. Nellis Meadows Park is being renovated and is still closed.

If you're talking about E Cheyenne on the far side of the golf course (say around Hollywood) I was only over there once, over a year ago not sure about recent access.
