Once in the west, lot-5 10/92 Mojave Air Port

Post by Gordsmith » Wed Jun 29, 2022 10:38 am

Those who have visited Mojave Air Port will perhaps understand that this, my first visit, was the harbinger of many more visits over the following years. I make no apologies for the multiple shots of the Drone Carrier C-130s. Gordon.

Thanks for sharing these, some interesting shots. Sadly Mojave is somewhere I never visited, but I would say that a lot of the interesting stuff is long gone now

Lovely shots that bring back happy memories. Thanks for posting. I visited Mojave in 1982, 86 and 88 and always found an Aladdin's Cave of aviation delights!

Mojave was always full of surprises during the late eighties early nineties when I visited several times, great post full of memories.
