We got to cross a bridge because we followed a red flag (a vessel that cannot stop because it's carrying dangerous cargo) and the bridge had to open for it which it otherwise would not have for us. This is the marine analog of chasing amulances, when all lights turn green.

An F-16 taking off in an extremely low flex departure.
The person standing next to me said that he had been to six Red Flags before, and never seen one that low before.

The plaza outside the main station at Beijing in March 2005. Surprisingly this was one of the few places where the 'Red Flag' was still prominent.

My wife and I had some free time so we decided to drive down to Las Vegas for the Red Flag exercise in mid-March 2025. The weather forecast was good and there seemed to be a decent line-up of participating aircraft. Unfortunately both items fell short. The sky conditions were excellent but the weather sucked. Very high winds affected some of the fighters. The first afternoon we were there all F-16s and F-35s were grounded due to crosswinds. Also unfortunate was that Flex departures were cancelled at the last minute so the planes had to do a straight out departure - this sucked for photographers. In the late afternoon the recovery shifted to landings over Cheyenne Avenue. This was our first visit there in about a year and we couldn't believe the change. It was a mix of a homeless camp, scrap yard, bombed out Gaza, and just a totally trashy area. Burned out cars and car parts were everywhere. We didn't feel safe there despite being among other plane spotters. Wow. I took these photos in mid-March 2025.
Re aircraft activity - it seemed a lot lower than at prior Red Flags. There were a lot of Nellis resident aircraft but not too many visitors. It was a decent trip but not a great one.

This wide view captures the magnitude of Helsinki’s May Day (Vappu) 2025 demonstration, stretching from the tram tracks to the tightly packed avenues.
Communist, anarchist, anti-capitalist, and human rights groups march side by side. Red banners, black flags, rainbow colors, Finnish flags, and the symbols of Vesna and Feminist Anti-War Resistance Finland all appear, forming a vibrant and diverse political expression.
Police visibility and mounted officers reflect the large-scale coordination of this public event, held during a time of national austerity and international tension.
Tässä laajakuvassa näkyy vuoden 2025 vappumarssin koko laajuus Helsingin keskustassa.
Kommunistit, anarkistit, antikapitalistit ja ihmisoikeusliikkeet marssivat rinta rinnan. Punaiset liput, mustat liput, sateenkaarivärit, Suomen liput sekä Vesna- ja Feministinen Antisotaliike -symbolit luovat värikkään ja monimuotoisen kokonaisuuden.
Poliisin läsnäolo ja ratsupoliisit kuvaavat suuren mielenosoituksen mittakaavaa ja järjestystä, kun kansalaiset reagoivat sekä kotimaisiin leikkauksiin että globaaleihin kriiseihin.
