There was a big fair in Ocean City (MD) the weekend we were there but the day we went was super cloudy and rainy. So I didn't carry the big guy around; instead, captured a couple of shots with my G11. Mostly though, I had fun and didn't take too many photos.

Two different eras of Boeing in the skies over Las Vegas - that's a Southwest 737-8 Max climbing out of LAS in the distance.
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.
