I’m a pediatric critical care transport nurse (ground/rotor/fixed wing) and an avid published aviation photographer. I spot at Moffett, Travis, Pt Mugu, USAF Plant 42, TTR, Edwards AFB, Star Wars Canyon, and the R-2508 Sidewinder Low Level Nikon Z9/D850

No at least W did us the basic political courtesy and lie about WMD's and stuck to it rather than the magic 8 ball of war crimes this admin is using. He also had people who were truly evil but at least they were competent at it as well

Those are mine and yes they do. I am quite envious of where they get to shoot. And don't get me stared on the view the backseater with the camera has with the Blue ANgels

I will agree that KC-135's, F-117's, F/A-18D's and god help me the oddest P-3 around the NP-3D are vintage

Angry Kitten Electronic Warfare Pod Spotted Flying On HC-130J Combat Rescue Plane Angry Kitten could be especially valuable for HC-130Js as growing threats call into question the utility of traditional combat search and rescue assets.

AH but the F-15EX is not the F-15A that rolled off the assembly line and you never know when you will catch the NGAD or say the RQ-180. Also perhaps you will catch a cool pod with a funny name oh wait I did last year www.twz.com/air/angry-ki...

The scout rifle with that bolt action will take the shittiest steel jacked 7.52/.308 and not miss a beat. The Noveske is like a hanger queen with cheap stuff

That is why you stick to open access roads etc. If a gate is closed end of the line

Nice! If I am making runs at military stuff I leave the AR-10 and 15 at home cause I will not give them any easy excuse. Sig 716, Noveske Gen III recon and honestly my favorite the scout rifle

I seldom spot vintage aircraft unless its an airshow or that amphibian coming into Edwards. In the wild is where it at

OMG yes, from Barker Ranch to the Old Air Research Hydrogen site to the sad X-15 memorial. I spend a fair amount of time gallivanting about the Mojave

Nice! I am quite careful to stay off private property so unless I am looking at South Base, I typically will spot in and around Boron for the approaches and tend to stay near the road unless I am sure I am on BLM land etc. Property lines are often poorly marked so I err on the side of caution.

Have to admit a bit of envy here I LOVE Nye county. So many fun things to poke around

LOL fair enough but as I stated Edwards is great if you are watching south base or the approach but for UFO's there are better spots.

Best of luck with your investigations!

That being said a few days before Groom was a letdown. It has been nearly 2 decades and I only merited 1 yes 1 cammo dude in a ford raptor. Last time is was 3 in jeep cheroots

At Tonopah? Lord no. An F-117 that heading out to run the Sidewinder and a few Janet Aircraft. Add to that the spectacular astro photography and the fauna made for quite the fun day. oh and the S-300 batter was cool too

Boron is probably not the place You are better off at night in the R-2508 to the north lurking along the Sidewinder or better yet heading to Nevada for the TTR (August 2024)
