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.
VAQ-131 Lancers at Red Flag 22-2. Since the Air Force retired all their EF-111 electronic warfare aircraft years ago, more often than not you'll see Navy EF-18G Growlers at Red Flag.
Seeing those waves I certainly did not go in there yesterday... instead I hung out in this beautiful natural Jacuzzi which I found climbing into the higher rock formations to the right! (((:

I went on a photographic walk from Berkswell near Balsall Common and came across the Sixteen acre wood. This is alongside the HS2 line. It struck me how much disruption is taking place. I had not encountered it close up other than the inconvenience of traffic changes around the M42 and A452. This part of the wood will become an embankment. Here we see the wood is being cleared and every so often the trees or paths are marked with red flags/circles or blue circles. I documented the area with photography as it will change.
