Any recommendations for time and location for tomorrow morning shots?

Chris Janes

0900 is when the first sortie usually begins, some warbirds takeoff and then the Raptor Demo starts, at least thats the way it was the last two years. Irvington and Swan is a good spot for the individual demos and when the formations separate.  If you want some landing shots and Runway 12 is the active then the guard rail near Contractors and Alvernon is a good spot. If 30 is in use then Valencia near the Air Musuem is a good spot.

The F-22 only flew twice on Friday. It's first flight at 12:25 included a demo and it was pretty nice in midday light. It flew again at 5:00 pm and the demo was awesome in that beautiful light. The final flight of the day was a 3 ship with F-22, F-35 and F-86. It was magnificent.
