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.

USA TRIP 2011: Nevada

Post by GIPS »

Hi All,

After my first trip in 2009 I was a kind of addicted to the enormous spotting opportunities in this great country so a next trip was planned soon afterwards.
This time I was armed with some better camera stuff which resulted in some nice pictures.

Our trip included a lot of base visits in the next States: OK, TX, NM, AV, CA and NV.

After some nice days at Nellis and Las Vegas we spent some time at the other bases in Nevada resulting the next pics made at Nas Fallon and Reno Stead:

1.

NAS Fallon is always worth a visit with the nice painted F-16's from NSAWC.

2
Image

Taking pictures from the tower is also allowed resulting this nice pair of hornets.

3

One of our main targets this trip was finaly catcht on picture..........

4

Never saw any MH-60 with this nice camo before

5
Image

Personaly one of my highlights is this CH-47D with the snowed mountains in the back.

6

Recently the C-1-168th Med Co received some brand new UH-72A Lakota's like this 72149 with c/n 9380

Still going strong to train the new pilots is this old OH-58A 72-21443

Hope you liked them again and some more pictures from our trip will follow soon again

I surely do. Let them come! Great eh... not so Black Hawk. :) I propose we call it a Desert Hawk instead of Sea Hawk (that is?).
