NAF El Centro - January 2013 (Picture heavy)

Post by sln »

Spend 2 days in January outside and inside NAF El Centro. Nice weather and lots of activity.

Blue Angles, VFA-106, VFA-122, TW-2 and a Canadian CF-18 unit was on base. Some other units came by as well, but I'll let the pictures do the talking:

Lovely shots - that CAG Prowler looks excellent with the black trim. The topside Hornets are also great

Ahhhhh, so jealous! I was meant to be there today, but the flu ruined that!

Fantastic shots!! So crisp and sharp. Wow! Love the hi-vis jets and CAG, oh, and the sand Super Bug

Stunning set, some of the close in ones of the Canadian Hornets near the start and the peachy light turning in ones near the end are excellent. What is the helicopter in #2? I'd love to photograph one of them!
