Military visitors @ Phoenix - Mesa Gateway

Post by Reaper02 »

This month I've been to the South Western part of the US to visit Red Flag 19-2 at Nellis, two airshows and the Rainbow Canyon, Death Valley (pictures to follow). But in between Mesa Gateway near Phoenix, Arizona is a great airport to visit during the weekends because there are always some military visitors to be found. Also this time I was lucky with 2 CH-53E's, a F/A-18C, a KC-135R and two T-45 Goshawks:

Hope you'll like 'em!
