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.

27-10 Yuma Proving Grounds

Post by rogierottens »

Last week I made a tour with a buddy en on wednesday octobre 27 we passed the Yuma Proving grounds. We didn't took to much time here as
they are not that keen on spotters, so the pics aren't that good. But they are interesting. At least I think so.

last noted come from the scramble database.

1. two C-41's 87-0159 (l/n oct04) and 90-0169 (l/n oct02)
Image

2. normal C-130 from the Minnesota ANG
Image

3. two O-2A's 67-21349 (l/n may03) and 67-21414 (l/n jul98) and a huey inside
Image

4. a normal C-17 for paradrops that day

You managed to drive in,or was the visit pre-arranged?.

Moving off-topic,did you visit nearby MCAS Yuma?,and assuming you did,will the results of your visit be made available on this forum?.

Twin Otter in the back looks exactly like N125SA from Perris Valley. Apparently they hired some civy para lifting capacity.
