(Air) Images From Red Flag

The International Society for Aviation Photography (ISAP) held their ninth symposium this past week in Las Vegas and our group road trip was to Nellis AFB. I was fortunate to draw the bus that went to mid-field between the runways.

Here are some early edits:

Thunderbird 3 Rolls Out After Landing
(Unlike the Blue Angels at El Centro, The TBirds do not practice at Nellis)

This Ain't No Demo Hog

Bad To The BOne

EA6B Prowler Departing

B-1B Launches (A Total Kidney Mixer)

RAF Harrier Heads Out To Play

US Army Shorts Sherpa

"Silver Surfer" Taking Off

I was using two rigs this day (EXIF should be intact)
- 40D + 300mm f/2.8L IS + 1.4X TC
- 1DMkIII + 70-200mm f/2.8L IS

I'm sure I'll have more in the days to come. I haven't even started a Zenfolio gallery for any of these yet. POTN got first dibs!

Hope you Like Them.

I am starting to dislike you Jay
These are great and your one lucky son of a ****

Now don't hate...

I'd really rather think luck has nothing to do with it. The luck part covers my being able to eat and keep a roof over my head...

The rest is me busting my azz to try and catch a break!

< I understand the sentiment and I humbly thank thee...>
