ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

4Aviation USA Tour March 2013, Day 3

Post by Hans Rolink »

No one for Day 3 yet? :D
OK, here goes our (and my!) first day at Nellis AFB, home of Red Flag. As someone used to Leeuwarden or Florennes for that matter, Nellis is somewhat of a disappointment at first. At the western end, there is Alto Avenue which is good for morning landing shots. However, the jets tend to wheel almost straight over you. The famed Speedway spot or rather a string of spots are all along North Las Vegas Boulevard. Just take your pick depending on what you want, banking or straight shots. During Day 3 I played it safe, during Day 4 I went further up north for banking type of shots. A 300 mm lens is a bare bones minimum though!

First, some Alto Ave shots.

Then, it was on to the Speedway as the light got better there.
