Nellis AFB, NV, USA - 13th November 2006

Our final full day at Nellis was spent outside the base. In the morning we shot the remaining Aviation Nation departures from Cheyenne.

This was probably my most frustrating day outside a base. Nellis may be great for variety, but the parallel runways mean it can be a real gut-wrencher at times!

It was 1230 before any of the based or detached aircraft started flying, and with live armed stuff HAVING to depart over the desert, we didn't get much joy.

Reluctantly with the sun still on the wrong side, we headed to the speedway end. Please bear in mind that most of these are substantial crops because of the sheer distance the aircraft are away from you, and therefore excuse any quality issues.

Despite the frustrations there were still a few nice shots to be had, particularly right at the end of the day.
