MCAS Yuma/Yuma International Airport (YUM, KNYL, NYL)

Marine Attack Squadron 211 (VMA-211 "Wake Island Avengers") deployed to Afghanistan on April 17th. I arrived at the Yuma Fairgrounds about 0950 on that date. I soon saw six of the VMA-211 Harriers depart with large fuel tanks. Most of them wagged their wings as they departed. Only later did I learn that I had photographed this historic deployment.

So stoked to have FINALLY gotten this shot of one of Yuma's rescue Hueys.  Hard to get since they always aim directly for us.

Great shots of the Homeland Security King Air Ned. It looks like they picked every accessory in the catalog when they ordered this plane
