After my first trip in 2009 I was a kind of addicted to the enormous spotting opportunities in this great country so a next trip was planned soon afterwards.
This time I was armed with some better camera stuff which resulted in some nice pictures.
Our trip included a lot of base visits in the next States: OK, TX, NM, AV, CA and NV.
First starting with some Red Flag 2011-3 stuff.

The racetrack still is the place to catch the birds coming in at runway 23 after doing right hand downwind, like this beautifull F-15
