Combat King II from the 71st Rescue Squadron, Moody AFB, Georgia. Seen here arriving back to Nellis AFB during Redflag 18-2
We decided to head down to Nellis AFB near Las Vegas for the Red Flag 21-1 exercises once the wife heard there were going to be some B-1B and B-2 bombers there. Good choice. We were there for three days; the first day was horrible for photos - very gray drab sky but things were busy. These are some photos from the first day - not the best quality but we did have a good time. I took these photos at the beginning of February 2021.

The inland Florida Everglades is known as the "River of Grass".
These boats fly through the grasses with ease. At times the only
thing visible is their high red/orange flag over the tall saw-grass...

******************************************************************************
An airboat, also known as a fanboat, is a flat-bottomed vessel
(jon boat) propelled in a forward direction by an aircraft-type propeller and powered by either an aircraft or automotive engine. Airboats are a very popular means of transportation in the Florida Everglades, parts of the Indian River Lagoon, the Kissimmee and St. Johns Rivers, as well as Louisiana Bayous, where they are used for fishing, bowfishing, hunting, and eco-tourism, and in other marshy and/or shallow areas where a standard inboard or outboard engine with a submerged propeller would be impractical.
