My wife and I liked Red Flag 21-1 so much we decided to check out 21-2. We knew it was going to be smaller so we only stayed for one full day. What we didn't count one was the nasty weather. Blah grey sky, very windy, and cold for the morning takeoffs. Takeoffs were to the SW so we joined up with a bunch of other spotters to watch the planes leave on Cheyenne Avenue. When the fighters take off on the 21R they bank right above your head so you get a mix of belly and side profiles - but it is a cool experience. Tankers and bombers tend to use 21L so you have a better angle but if there were no clouds you would be shooting into the sun. Despite this we had a good time. After the morning rush headed out we moved to the Speedway area for the recovery. All in all a very good day, even if we were turning blue and felt sandblasted.
I took these photos in early March 2021 near Las Vegas, Nevada.

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.
You see it means "hand dig" - buried electric line. Dig with shovel only and don't hit it. There were too many cars whizzing by to get a full shot of all it said but hopefully people will get the drift.
One of the few salvagable-enough-for-the-internet shots I got of the Aussie F-111s at Red Flag. At some point early in the day I must have bumped the Auto-Focus button on the back of my XTi and inadvertantly switched by camera from AI Servo to One Shot AF mode. That said, I'm very happy with the shots I am able to save, and it looks like I've got at least one good shot of everything I wanted to get.
