Hi Time again to go to a Red Flag at Nellis AFB not the most interesting RF but worth the trip and met up with old friends and to test out my new camera
anyway on with the photos. The WA A-10C was seriously tooled up

Superb set, looks like you had a seriously good trip.

That new Canon seems to be producing some nice crisp shots Bob. May I ask what time of day the ramp shots were taken? The shadows suggest it wasn't too early and the EXIF data says late afternoon, if I've read it correctly.
Thanks,
Freeman

The Ramp shots were taken at about 07:45am Forgot to change the EXIF so it was still on UK time

Cracking set, better than mine

Wow, the clarity of the ramp shots is amazing, in a different league to the DSLR set up.

[matt e]

Nice set especially the last shot

Yes Chris the Canon R6 MkII with the increase 24MP resolution and faster burst rates up to 40fps has made the shots clearer and with a Canon 800mm F11 lightweight lens and a 2 x converter for the ramp shots I was impressed with a shot of a KC-135 which was miles away

Wow that lens and converter set up is remarkable

Great for number crunching

Hi I presume to mean based WA F-35's... There were about 10 on the main ramp under sun shelters and and another 10+ on the other side of the base in the revetments... For the number crunchers you can get the the numbers off the tails and the nose wheels doors in the sun shelters but you need a super pole IE the new Swarovski or a mate that has one... The ones in the revetments I think are impossible until they move... But I could be wrong

Do they still fly F-15C at Nellis?

I was thinking in particular of 80-0053/OT that I still need!
