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.

This 707 is one of the last to be built for a non-military customer, delivered to the government of Qatar for use as a VIP aircraft in July 1977 and registered A7-AAA. Upon its retirement by Qatar it was bought by Israel and converted to tanker/transport configuration. In service with 120sq "Desert Giants" - though Israel is in the process of acquiring the KC-46, so probably not for much longer.
