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.
An F-15 taking off from Nellis AFB, with the pilot clearly enjoying the ride more than the backseater.

Red Flag offers U.S. and coalition service members realistic combat training and is typically held three times a year. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Joshua Kleinholz)
Could imagine a Red Flag without some planes growling around? of course not!

The view from the National Gallery in London. Everybody wants to take this shot, but I'm not proud as it is a great view. Bitterly cold - so cold that the fountains were frozen.
Incidentally we saw the exhibition The Sacred Made Real which is absolutely stunning and should not be missed if you can make it to London - I don't think it's on for much longer.

Look who tried to impress me last night (and succeeded)..... and then even posed for me (((:
This little Gecko is only about 3 inches long from head to the tip of his long tail (7.5 cm). I see them coming out in the evenings climbing along the patio walls, but never seen one flashing a "red flag" (((;
