Agreed! Great shots! The F-35s looked like they tore it up (at least on the live stream lol)

It would be cool to incorporate the F-35s in future warfighter/capabilities demos at Nellis.

Keep the pics coming! I'd also like to hear more experiences from those who attended the show, especially first timers.

Dan, the F35s were great as part of the warfighter demo. A lot of good, low, high-speed stuff! Even saw some flares from the F35s in Saturday's show. You can't really tell from this pic, but these two are NOT in formation... F35s/A10s/HH-60s/F15s/F16s all in tight patterns at once. The F35 looked like it had to avoid the A-10 rather abruptly on this pass!

This was my first time at Nellis and I thought it was amazing. Couple no-shows (MQ-9 and B-2), but I don't believe I've ever been to a show where EVERYTHING advertised flew. The Hind was a star and a great surprise. On Friday it blew over the fence that I was sitting on!

I did not see anything regarding the Raptor pilot's final flight... We were at the far left end of the flight line.

The dual F-15s is a killer angle! That is really cool. Thanks for sharing them all and glad to see you had a better time with it!

Thanks Ryan! That was a surprise when I went through my photos!

Had a blast in Vegas for Aviation Nation. As usual the Thursday before was incredible. Here's a small mix of pics form the show and some I caught on Thursday off of Cheyenne.

I saw that too. A little too close for comfort on that one. I wonder if the F-35 pilot did not see the A-10 as he overtook him. Must have given the A-10 pilot quite the start!
