Hello everyone. I'm finally caught up with my 2017 travels and pictures except for where I am with my 1/32 Super Hornet build in the modelling area. So for the finish up of my latest travels. Early November myself and a few great friends travelled from Las Vegas to El Centro, on to MCAS Yuma and then off for a flight over the Boneyard in Tucson. From there we did the long drive back North all the way to Fallon Nevada for a visit on base, A glorious day was spent at NAS Fallon after which we drove back South to Rainbow/Starwars/Jedi Canyon/Pass/Transition lol.. Finishing off at Aviation Nation/Nellis AFB show which is already posted in the Airshow section. Sadly we had overcast for El Centro, Yuma and the flight over Tucson so most of these shots will be NAS Fallon and the Canyon.
Thanks for looking and the Thank You for the comments.

19. One from El Centro. We only stayed for an hour since there was not much traffic and no visitors on the pan.

Next up a few shots out of Tucson Arizona. The flight was great, sadly the light not so much. First up was a drill weekend which meant that even though it was a Saturday. There must have been at least 40 F-16s launch including this 2 seated Iraqi F-16.

36. The Alaska Vipers did a few flypasts over the Canyon... Who knows, maybe with the deployment for the next few months. They may enter it rather then tease us with a flyover.

So that is all folks for my travels in 2017. I may squeeze in JFEX next week. But 2018 is looking just as busy. Thanks again for having a look.
