We decided to head down to Nellis AFB near Las Vegas for the Red Flag 21-1 exercises once the wife heard there were going to be some B-1B and B-2 bombers there. Good choice. We were there for three days; the first day was horrible for photos - very gray drab sky but things were busy. These are some photos from the first day - not the best quality but we did have a good time! I took these photos at the beginning of February 2021.

My second attempt at sketching books for the volume construction exercises. The first one was getting so full of wrong angles and lines that I decided to start over. It still looks wrong and the kids woke up before I had a chance to add the lettering.
I'm surprised at how hard it is to get the angles right. Some angles I drew as obtuse only to realize they were acute and had to be redrawn.
I'll attempt again tonight. Not sure if I should simplify and sketch only two books or add extra books/objects to create more complex negative shapes as during last week exercises I found it easier to sketch accurately while concentrating on the negative shapes.
Our lunch from the food truck "Snappy Snappy" at Dooneen Pier between the villages of Moyard and Letterfrack: Butter pan-fried crab claws with almond coated slender sea-grape and homemade dill mayonnaise, Connemara, County Galway, Ireland
Some background information:
If you should ever be on the N59 road between the villages of Moyard and Letterfrack in the months between early May and mid-September, you will surely pass Dooneen Pier and see a little red food truck there. Furthermore, if you should love seafood, you would definitely make a huge mistake, if you wouldn’t make a stopover there. "Snappy Snappy" is located opposite the "12 Pins" café right beside the sea. It is specialised in different crab dishes while offering great vistas of the Connemara coastline.
As already mentioned, we had Butter pan-fried crab claws with almond coated slender sea-grape and homemade dill mayonnaise. As it was a finger food, we didn’t get forks and knives and we didn’t also need them. The food wasn’t really cheap, but worth every cent. We loved it so much that we even planned to revisit "Snappy Snappy" a few days later, but when we came back, the season was already over and the foodtruck was closed until next year. Well, it was a real pity, but on the other hand, great experiences aren’t always repeatable as often as desired.
The N59 road, where Dooneen Pier and "Snappy Snappy" are situated, is a portion of The Wild Atlantic Way, a tourism trail on the west coast, and on parts of the north and south coasts, of Ireland. The 2,500 km (1,553 mile) driving route passes through nine counties and three provinces, stretching from County Donegal's Inishowen Peninsula in the very north of Ireland to Kinsale, County Cork, on the Celtic Sea coast in the very south. Along the route there are 157 discovery points, 1,000 attractions and more than 2,500 activities. In 2014, the route was officially launched by the Republic of Ireland’s Minister of State for Tourism and Sport, Michael Ring.
However, the roads forming the Wild Atlantic Way have always been favoured by locals and tourists alike for generations even before they became known collectively as the Wild Atlantic Way route. They offer truly spectacular Atlantic ocean vistas as well as many places to visit and sights by the roadside. More than 150 locations have been officially designated as Discovery Points. These have been marked locally with a special signpost.
A further 15 locations are highlighted as Signature Discovery Points of special importance. These are the 15 best stops along the Wild Atlantic Way. From north to south, these places are: Malin Head, County Donegal, Fanad Head, County Donegal, Slieve League, County Donegal, Mullaghmore Head, County Sligo, Downpatrick Head, County Mayo, Keem Strand, County Mayo, Killary Harbour, County Mayo, Derrigimlagh Bog, County Galway, Cliffs of Moher, County Clare, Loop Head, County Clare, Blasket’s View, County Kerry, Skellig’s View, Bray Head on Valentia Island, County Kerry, Dursey Island, County Cork, Mizen Head, County Cork, and Old Head of Kinsale, County Cork.
Nevertheless, I personally believe that it’s even better to make your own discoveries while travelling on the Wild Atlantic Way. The reason is that many of these Signatory Discovery Points of special importance are widely known and hence, often overrun with visitors, in particular during the high season. But other spots roadside are similarly beautiful while being less frequented. So my tip would be: Just travel unprejudicedly and stop wherever you feel like it and enjoy the view. If you act like this, you’ll hardly be able to drive more than 20 km without any stopover.
County Galway is a county in the west of Ireland, taking up the south of the province of Connacht. The traditional county includes the city of Galway, but the city and county are separate local government areas. Currently, the population of the county is more than 276,000. In the west of the county, there are several Irish-speaking areas.
The first inhabitants in the Galway area arrived over 7000 years ago. The county originally comprised several kingdoms and territories which predate the formation of the county. These kingdoms included Aidhne, Uí Maine, Maigh Seóla, Conmhaícne Mara, Soghain and Máenmaige. In 1569, County Galway became an official entity. The region known as Connemara retains a distinct identity within the county, though its boundaries are unclear. Hence, it may account for as much as one third or as little as 20% of the county. Places of interest in Galway are among others the Connemara National Park, Kylemore Abbey and Dunguaire Castle.

Exercise Cobra Warrior - on Monday 27th March 2023, following the end of the Cobra Warrior exercises, I made a final visit to RAF Waddington to try and capture the departure of the five popular Indian Air Force Dassault Mirages, and I wasn’t disappointed this time, although it was still a bit touch-and-go as they say 😀.
After waiting for most of the morning, the five Mirages were staying stubbornly on the ground, and I had to rush the five miles home to recharge my ailing iPhone battery, before rushing back to the airfield - hoping desperately that I hadn't missed their departure!
Just after midday, the Mirages finally got going, one by one, down to the the threshold of Runway 02, and then up they roared, again one by one, into the clear blue skies. They then got into formation and made a very fine sight as they made a slow pass over the airfield one last time 😍:)
And listen out for "Titan 2" on the air-band radio nearby as the lead pilot said farewell to the tower!
Apologies for the slight waver on the panning of the formation - must have been all the excitement 😒
Exercise Cobra Warrior is a biannual exercise run by the Royal Air Force and is designed to exercise participants in high intensity large force tactical training. This year's exercise is taking place from the 6th to the 24th of March, controlled by directing staff at RAF Waddington.
