Not cancelled, it's in full swing. If you're also interested in photographing helicopters close-by, head down to the Yuma Regional Medical Center, Trinity Christian Center, Crane Middle School and/or Kiwanis Park in the afternoon/evening of October 18th.

Thanks guys for all the help I went down Tuesday to El Centro first there are few participants over there CG harriers WK ED hornets YT 46s and some Cobras didn’t ID them. As well as some AD Hornets. And 2 RAF Chinooks that never moved while I was there

Then Over to for 3 days the WTI seems to be mostly a night exercise Well at least the CV-22s, 53, Hueys. But a few did fly during the day. 8 V-22s takes off and heard they where up for a 8 hour mission saw 3 come back assumed the rest returned in the middle of the night but the locals where flying even the 35s I noted 3 different ones flying 2, 8 and 15. All VK coded. F-5's flew all day MD prowlers saw a DD and Vampire Hornet. Lots of 130s BH QB QD NY. I don’t do numbers just take photos.

One Dutch spotter was questioned by local police for pointing his scope at the base. He came over to us and just asked us what we where doing and left. Said an incident report was filled against him

I was told the same info yesterday when I was there by several people. This year is going to be different as several locations and wrap your camera as it does get dusty with 2 53s coming each time and some times from behind you
