SW USA Road Trip 2018

Post by Fumbles »

As part of the road trip to MCAS Yuma and Luke AFB for those shows. Along the 2500 Mile journey we also had a day at NAS Fallon, two days at Rainbow/Starwars Canyon and a couple days at Nellis AFB for Red Flag 18-2. Sadly the weather didn't play ball for most of the time at Nellis. But I did get a few of the usual shots. NAS Fallon had most of the based fleet away on deployment, but! We had the chance to catch the Australian Growlers on the visitor ramp. Because of a mix up at the hotel in Lone Pine... some of our group missed the Iraqi F-16 through the canyon!! We had a few disappointments on this trip but a lot of laughs and good times. Hopefully we'll be able to do it again sometime.

Anyways some pictures of what I got that were not at the two shows.
