Howdy everyone,
I decided to take a trip down to El Centro today and check out the last practice before the Blues kick off their air show season. This is the first time I shot from on top of the hay bales and let me just say WOW! It was the best perspective I have ever shot any jets from. Here are a few I came away with. C&C welcome and appreciated

Not required. This was not on base but rather on a road adjacent to the base. By standing on top of the hay bale i was able to shoot over the fence that surrounds the base.

Nice shots. Yeah I park on either end of the runway also. Air show this Saturday and they'll be gone until next January.

I didn't know you could access the other side of the runway but i guess it makes sense. The day I went they took off both times from the same side so it worked out pretty well for me.

They land on the diagonal runway. The stacked hay is a good spot. If your to far north or on the other side of the runway you shoot into the sun.
