Forum rules
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.

Red Flag 08-2.2, February 2008.

Post by IrishAirPics »

Hi Guys,

I was at the media day that was held on Feb 14th at Nellis for the latest edition of Red Flag (2008-2.2), sample pictures are attached, I've also included a few pictures taken from outside the base on other days IwWas as sick as a small hospital on the day but held it together long enough to snap some pictures, more pictures will follow hopefully in the next few days. For the pedantic few of you out there the Super Hornets were not part of the Red Flag exercise but were in Nellis on other business.

Full report & more pictures available here:

CGI.... I've been found out, where's the delete button! :oops:

Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback. Some of those Raptors do look like they're CGI, especially the first one, looks like someone went around the outline of the thrust vectoring nozzles with a black pencil.


Regards,

Frank.
