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.

An amazing sight of Fistral Beach which I have never been to before. The waves were pretty large on the Wednesday 18th April 2018 according to locals chatting to at The Shack on Fistral Beach. To be treated with respect as I had an incident with a sneaker wave that flooded my wellingtons.....
Note the red flag on the beach due to the conditions.

Looking at other shots of her I took that day this may have been an Air Test or a Range familiarisation ride as only two of the four crew were aboard
Neither is she carrying any AN/ALQ-99 ECM pods - just a pair of wing tanks plus that range telemetry store on the outer pylon
She landed back later

This red flag is a warning of high winds, rough surf, and high chance of rip currents.The wind on this day was out of the northwest at 25 - 35 mph (40 - 56 Km/h), although the temp was fairly nice at 74F/23C. But the family playing near the surf is either insane or from the North Pole, as the water temp was 61.7F/16.5C, which is quite cold to be swimming in. At least they weren't going out into the water, which would have been quite dangerous.

From my last photojourney in Morocco, last January, in a small village on the ocean, there's an old fisherman who is checking his net. These are really poor people and the good conditions of their nets are very important to their lives. I hope you enjoy this scene.

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.
