Flew to North Las Vegas this weekend with a buddy of mine (from Deer Valley, KDVT). Awesome flight. Got to fly right over the Vegas Strip. My buddy is a SWA Captian based out of Vegas, so he picked us up and we headed over to the Nellis AirShow. So jealous of the guys flying fighters!

Photos are honestly not very good quality, but still worth sharing (most of these photos weren't taken by me and were compressed when sent through email).

Don't feel like posting all the photos here so here is a link to the Google Photos album.

Cool pics man! I left Vegas Sat morning, wish I had checked about an airshow. Any Migs flying?

 
Yea it was a good time! No Migs flying.

Yeah most of the Migs were dispersed as static displays. Was the Aurora flying? :popcorn:

Nope saw the F15, F16, F22, and F35 fly. A10s as well. Bunch of other stuff too
 
It sure is. He told so many stories about flying that thing and other helicopters in his past. My dad was also at the airshow. I would have been if I wasn't working in TX.

Helicopter guys are crazy :p
 
Awesome! Excellent photos. Always love the scenery out your way, it’s purrrrrrty!

Thanks! It is nice, although sometimes I think it would be nice to be flying over corn fields and not rocks all the time haha.
 
Did you fly against Ritchie when you were with the "Red Eagles"? :)

I did but like a good aggressor, I let him beat me. He never would have shot down 5 Mig-21s if it wasn't for me showing him the way.

I figured that's how he got all those Migs in VN, before we had the 4477th TES. :)
 
Excellent! You'll enjoy it. Ran into one of the Migs they dispersed around the country at the Armament Museum outside of Eglin, a Mig 21.
You should watch where you are going.
