Upon arrival at around 0800lt, the first wave arrived and the second wave departed. Wauw! We placed ourselves at the parking spot right of the tower at 32.124920°, -110.943920°. According some locals the FBO at the end of this parking did not like photographers in front of its door, so we stayed here. Take-offs were oke in the morning, some heatwaves when the vipers were stationary. Taxiing Vipers were very good at this spot. However, the sun is very quickly in your face, so we moved to the parking next to a hangar at 32.126062°, -110.944288°. here, on some steps you will be able to shoot over the fence. As the were landing to the south, the vipers taxied along the taxiway close to this spot around the runway to their checkpoint. Very nice! Sometimes, when this taxiway was blocked by Cessnas, they used the runway.
They fly very early till around 1200 and between 1400 and 1500lt.
