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.

On 27 February 1957 Mao gave a speech "On the Correct Handling of Contradictions among the People" (关于正确处理人民内部矛盾的问题, Guanyu zhengque chuli renmin neibu maodun de wenti), apparently introducing a greater freedom of speech, but eventually leading to a severe purge of those who used this freedom. The poster announces the publication of the speech as a brochure.

The Li River or Lijiang River is a river in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. It originates in the Mao'er Mountains in Xing'an County and flows in the general southern direction through Guilin, Yangshuo and Pingle.
In Pingle the Li River merges with two other streams, and continues south as the Gui River, which falls into the Xi Jiang, the western tributary of the Pearl River, in Wuzhou.
The 437-kilometer course of the Li and Gui Rivers is flanked by green hills. Cormorant fishing is often associated with the Lijiang (see bird intelligence). Its unusual karst topography hillsides have often been compared to those at Halong Bay, Vietnam.

Hindu Pilgrim on Cycle Rickshaw (India)
This old bare-feet guy was riding his rickshaw in Rajasthan (temperature 45 C / 120 F), heading for some holy place in Jammu on a Pilgrimage. This would probably take several months.

Lockheed Martin F-35A "Lightning II" assigned to the 33rd Fighter Wing sit on the flightline July 18, 2017, at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev. The 33 FW and Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 211 from Yuma, Ariz., participated in the first combat exercise with Air Force F-35As and Marine Corps F-35Bs operating simultaneously during Red Flag 17-3. The large scale exercise, which was developed to provide pilots with critical experience in combat situations, enabled F-35 pilots to plan and train using the same tactics, techniques and procedures.
