Red Flag 18-1 and a visit to the Canyon

Post by Fumbles »

Hello everyone

I'm freshly back from Red Flag 18-1 and as usual, a few shots of a day and a half at Rainbow Canyon. Here are a few pictures of what I saw in the course of a week.
Thanks for looking.

Cool, I'm guessing the shot of the JANET aircraft isn't from the canyon? ;)

No Boulders in the background of that one :biggrin: but the shots that do have them are very nice!
Can't beat a bit of blue sky from the Raceway either. Aussie Growler is a nice catch. :up:

F-15C with a targeting pod? Whatever next?

"Not a pound for air to ground" - probably used for identification during air to air :)
