Wow!, that is surprising!.  FYI it will take a while to get out of there.  When I went in 2006 Dave Budd and I tried to walk back but they said it was illegal and were ticketing people.  Buses only.  The lines for the buses were like a mile long.  Try and park in the lot on Vegas Blvd as opposed to the one off the 15 fwy.  I think its smaller and not the main one.  Its a great show!

Thanks good to know!  I read that somewhere on ASB too.  The event coordinator for the show (Chuck Ramsy) is on ASB a lot answering everyone's questions, and he said that they switched up the buses to where that didn't matter anymore.  but i guess it still couldn't hurt to go up Vegas Blvd.

Well, never tried walking back to parking area, but I usually stick around a bit and shoot statics as the crowds thin.  Everyone runs for the exits after the T-Birds are done.  I have never had a problem leaving the place in the past two years...

 
When I went it got Dark FAST.  It was dark when we left and we slowly worked our way back but the T-birds were not last.  QF-4 landed as the sun was setting.

Went last year, and was a bit disappointed when the V-22 was grounded a few days beforehand and the Predator never showed, but am planning on going again this year. Wished the aggressor birds would fly, that's one thing that's unique to Nellis.

The line for the buses are brutal at the end. I was heading out before the T-birds finished, and still it was like Disneyland at Christmas.

Another backlit show for the most part. This is what I was able to do last year

Anyone else thinking of flying in to McCarren and want to split a cab? I dunno if I can do that drive again, I've pushed my luck the past 4 times with no speeding ticket, my number's gotta come up soon. (Made it Torrance to the Strip in exactly three hours once last year. Don't ask how fast I was going  >:D )

The flying stuff is my Tamron 200-500. It's since been dropped and repaired, and I haven't had much chance to test it out. Looking at maybe picking up the Canon 100-400

I once drove a stretch of interstate at 130+ in my girlfriend at the time's Z28. It was night time, and we went all the way from Texarkana to just outside of Dallas at 130, sometimes more. Ahh, to be young and stupid.

So who all's considering going? I seriously have no big desire to drive and would like to book a flight and room soon, but was wondering who else was thinking of flying, as to figure out transportation to and from Nellis without possibly renting a car or going halfsies, thirdsies, or less on a rental or cab. (That was one sentence, I think my journalism degree was just revoked)

Ok, so for Practice on Friday where is the "spot" to be?  This will be my first trip to Nellis.  We will be driving in on Friday afternoon, and maybe we might just bypass the hotel check in and go straight to watch the T-Birds at 2:30.

I keep hearing somthing about Cheyenne Ave... ???

This was a great show!  First Aviation Nation show I have ever gone to, and it is going to make it hard to pass it up again next year!  Here are a couple from Friday's practice outside on Cheyenne, which was a great spot.  Then my camera decided the sensor wanted to get a whole bunch of spots on it during Saturday's show! >:( >:(  So those will need some cleaning up.

Another great show at Nellis!  Friday's weather turned out to be very challenging, but photogenic.

I've been having a rash of computer problems, but here is one photo I took on Friday.  I never expected to see these shockwave effects, on the Super Hornet, in the dry desert of Nellis.   <rocker>

P.S.: I really hope that next year they can place the huge speakers, along the show line, below eye level!   >:(

We were sitting behind the B-52 at the end of the fence line. There were no speakers in front of us. It was the only area we could see without those EVIL speakers. It was also nice not to hear the announcer that much.

BTW, Killer shockwave effect <rocker>

I actually managed to get a group photo this time around.  Note my nephew, to become our new youngest member.  The little guy can shoot.
