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.

Besides the Tucson area, some time was spent in the Phoenix Area. I spent 2 days around Luke AFB. Best times here are early morning or late afternoon, although you do have the advantage of being between the two runways. Just some pic's of Pugs before they come to The Netherlands as well :?. The (best) times when Luke had 200+ F-16's are long gone.

The very last day on the trip was spent at NAF El Centro. Finally got the VFA-106 Boss bird flying and the T-45's had arrived
for their stay as well. Just a couple of photo's of the last day. Next post will be RF16-1.

Re: AZ, NV, CA and RF16-1 (MIL) update Last day NAF El Centr

Found some time to place a couple more pic's of this trip. Just two this time from Yuma Proving Grounds.
Photo's aren't great, it was 8am and getting warm. Also distance was an issue here. So some cropping.
