A sign warning of a military training area on the island of Vlieland, Netherlands. It warns about the dangers of entering this area when a red flag is raised. Indeed, multiple red flags were visible in the distance. I zoomed in and took a picture of one of them.
Jaws is a thriller with brilliant acting as well as action. One of my fave scenes is when Quint tells about sharks attacking after the sinking of the USS Indianapolis, the ship that delivered the atom bombs in WWII, that is just chilling. This is a classic movie we watch at the beginning of every summer to kick it off with a thrill. taken for our daily challenge - favorite movie

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.
