REQ: weekend flying at Yuma and Nellis?

[paul-760]

I'm planning a family trip to the USA and try to squeeze some photo opportunities in the programm.. It turns out might be passing MCAS Yuma on a Saturday. Can anybody confirm that they actually fly during the weekend?

Same for Nellis: what about flying activities a normal Saturday afternoon (i.e. no Red or Green Flag days)?

Thanks in advance!

I haven't been there whilst they were flying, but last time I visited on a Saturday morning shortly after sunrise and found a few MH-47s, F/A-18s and an AV-8B on deck at the general aviation apron, so it might be worth checking that out.

I stopped off at Yuma in March around lunchtime on the Saturday of the El Centro show. There were two based Harriers flying - sort of very long circuits. As per other post, do check around the FBO for visitors.
Well worth a stop!

Nellis would be pretty much zero flying on weekends

Thanks everybody for your advice.

During WTI at Yuma (April and October) they are flying in the weekend....

tracking exercises will produce results for decent tail spotting ventures. Exercises such as Green Flag & JFEX fly on wknds; also Red Flag fam flights & evolutions of Weapons School Integration & grad class will also fly; Operation NEPTUNE FALCON is also a huge player aboard Nellis, as well. WTI, as Osxar mentioned, flys wknds outta hotYuma, as well as iterations of ITX.
