You guys got away cheap then! 

So, no Thunderbirds sightings during Red Flag?

I'd like to thank Barry, Ned and Bill for saving me the cost of a trip to Vegas!   

+1 - I was in Vegas on business and did not get an opportunity to visit the Nellis area. In fact, I did not even have a camera with me.

Not many of the Fighters left the burners on much past takeoff.  This guy obliged us and let the burners turn a few extra gallons of petrol into enjoyment for the eyes and ears.

AWACS - Good thing these stay well behind the front line of engagement, as you can see their smoke trails for twenty miles.
