ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Flagstaff (AZ) 20-08-2023 CIV + MIL

Post by LifelinerOne »

Hi all,

this year, the family and I made a roadtrip in California, Arizona and Nevada. Although it wasn't a spotting trip at all, I managed some airplane photography here and there.

When leaving for Sedona from the Grand Canyon, I checked Flightradar24 if there was anything nice at Flagstaff. According to the app, there would be one CH-53 of the Marines present, so I decided a quick hit and run.

Big surprise was that there wasn't 1 CH-53 but 4 and also a MH-60. Photography was a bit challenging due to the light and the fence, but here are my catches of a 20 minute stop.

1. This MH-60M of the US Army has 20339 on the tail and is supposed to be FY11, so 11-20339:

2. Those CH-53s are impressive helicopters, this one is 163083:

3. And this one 162488:

4. Arriving from Phoenix was this SkyWest N741EV:

5. This Canadian Falcon 10 C-GSXC was operating an ambulance-flight:

6. And ending this set with Falcon 900 N1549E:

Hope you liked them!

Cheers! :wave:
