This day was even grayer, windier, and colder than the day before. My wife decided not to even get out of the car. We stuck around for a few hours but no B-1s so we decided to head out since we had a long drive to El Centro, CA.
These photos are from Red Flag 21-2 held at Nellis AFB outside Las Vegas, Nevada in early March 2021.

Well, here we are in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam – or Cộng hòa xã hội chủ nghĩa Việt Nam, if you prefer.
Leaving aside the small matter of the American War between 1955 and 1975, Vietnam was largely isolated until the mid-1980s – but now this one-party socialist state, where the Communist Party rules supreme, has opened up to become a thriving tourist destination, and although still a hugely poor country, its economic growth rate is among the highest in the world.
Some 13 million people visited the country last year… and this year, Liang and I decided to add to the numbers. It’s a country of contrasts, as I hope to show in the coming days.
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 F-16 Fighting Falcon approaches a KC-135 Stratotanker for refueling during Red Flag 14-2 March 13, 2014, over the Nevada Test and Training Range.

The KC-135 is assigned to the 350th Air Refueling Squadron at McConnell Air Force Base, Kan. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Timothy Young/Released)
A German soldier holds up the red army flag.
Despite the fact that the soldier has a hand grenade on his belt, it seems that the Leica III hanging around his neck means that he is an SS-Kriegsberichter, i.e. men of the information company.
The red flag is obviously a landmark that is placed on the terrain, where the tip of the attack is advancing. Probably many flag bearers were killed in that mission.

Five F-16 Fighting Falcons assigned to the 64th Aggressor Squadron await an end-of- runway inspection during Red Flag 14-1 Jan. 24, 2014, at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev. The Aggressors put the participants through their paces in air, space and cyberspace. Red Flag was established in 1975 to better prepare Airmen for combat missions because during Vietnam the kill radio for U.S. pilots was two to one with many of them being shot down during their first 10 combat missions.
