Ken Cartwright Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Went to the Nellis Air Show in Las Vegas again, and it was a great show. The weather got a little sketchy about halfway through, but a great show nonetheless. I wasn't sure if these should go in the Research section, but I wasn't sure very many of them would work well for research, so I'm posting them here.

Alternative 4 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Nice pics, I really miss seeing the F-15 display at airshows. I am quite jealous Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Camus272 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Thank you for posting these. I wasn't able to this year (which was honestly very depressing). Of course they would have two F-16 aggressors on display this year. Cool to see the blizzard jet out. Last year I looked all over and finally found it parked at the end of the ramp and then saw it take off on Monday morning. Were there any any Navy adversaries on display? Did the B-1 just do one pass like last year? Do you have an online album - I'd love to see a few walk-around shots of the two F-16s if you have them. Thanks again, Brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PlasticWeapons Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) Hope Ken C. doesn't mind me sharing my photos here too but it was nice to meet you and Ken Middleton at Nellis. Friday was ok, Saturday weather was freezing, and Sunday was lots of sun! There weren't any Navy fast jets on display, the B-1B made several (three?) passes at different speeds and wing sweeps, and I was impressed with the scramble demos. Wow. Here are a few of my photos. I haven't edited the rest yet. F-15E goes inverted while dumping flares. Another flare dump, this time by an F-15C. Sunset pic of F-86 "Hell-Er Bust X" of the Horsemen demo team.

Bigasshammm Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Awesome. it's been too long since I've seen a B-1 in flight. Definitely one of my favorite air show planes ever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horrido Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Are the natural metal and silver dope F-86s different variants? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chuck540z3 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Thanks for sharing Ken. I go to Nellis just about every year, but due to some minor surgery I had to skip this year, so it's nice to see what I missed! I heard it was real cold, but since I come from Canada, anything over 50 degrees is warm to me! :lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
