My wife and I visited Las Vegas to check out Red Flag 21-3, a big exercise for the USAF, Navy, and some foreign countries. It's a great experience watching so many warplanes coming and going. Las Vegas in August is HOT - as in over 100 degrees so we were sweltering. I still can't seem to get consistent tack sharp photos of the high speed takeoffs so I will keep practicing. Any advice is welcome.
I took these photos outside of Nellis AFB, Las Vegas, in early August 2021.
Almost in silhouette as it approaches Nellis' runway. Note the shape of a Boeing 757 in the distance, headed for McCarran International Airport.

Looking up at Turkey's largest flag at Çamlıca Hill in Istanbul. At 111 meters (364 feet), it is Turkey’s tallest flag pole. Taken with the Canon 5D4 and the Sigma 135mm Art lens.
Couldn't see the BuNo on this one - 168932 is what has been reported elsewhere online for the NL-543 aircraft number.
Boeing serial number 19382 has had quite a varied career. It was first delivered to American Airlines as a 707-323C in October 1967, registered N7567A. Upon retirement, it was acquired by the U.S. Air Force as part of a batch of former American 707s to be used as crew trainers, and became Air Force serial 81-0892. It was converted to an EC-18B range monitoring aircraft using that serial, and flew as such out of Edwards Air Force Base until 1999. After that it was converted to an E-8C, and gained the new serial 01-2005.
