Yuma Airshow requirements

[Bjorn van der Flier]

Did soneone read off the Harriers and F-35s in the sunsheds?

They were visible when you came from the carpark towards the show grounds. Our car was parked on base, thus not accesable for us.

Thanks!

guards went crazy just pointing your phone to the planes, walking back to my car, so no...

I logged the following AV-8B's, including a couple from quick pics I took at the Blue parking lot

AV-8B 164148 WL23 / VMA311 S
AV-8B 163883 WE20 / VMA214 F
AV-8B+ 165567 / Sheds (code not visible from angle of image)
AV-8B+ 165585 WE03 / VMA214 S
AV-8B 165006 / VMA214 Sheds (code not visible from angle of image)
AV-8B WE04 / VMA214 Sheds (serial not visible from angle of image)
AV-8B+ 165573 WL02 / VMA311 Sheds

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for sending the picture. I only discovered now that I also wrote it down as such during the show. However, I shot this picture on the Tuesday before the show! Things can change rather fast!
