May be of interest my take on early March wanderings (with Mr O ) around Nevada, California and Arizona. The airshow pics will be omitted (save a few of arrivals/departures from outside).
Hope there is something that viewers will like.
Just 2 from Rainbow Canyon from a quietish but quality 2 days-

This is the lowest touch and go I have ever seen-fixed focal length lens so one can only get an impression of height but no more than 8-10m above head height (as can be seen from the base fence)

Re: Western USA wanderings
Wowzers - I don't normally get all about modern military stuff but this is a super set with loads of a-bit-different stuff.
The first one and the low low touch and go are the stand outs for me.
Oh, also the Draken pair, very nice to see.
Thanks for sharing
