I guess there’s no “stabilized approach” for these guys!

Scary fact...

When that plane came off the assembly line, NONE of the structures in the background had been built..

Awesome photo, but that’s a pretty steep approach angle, due to obstacle avoidance, noise abatement, & all kinds of local area restrictions that have nothing to do with flight safety.

Diving & flaring on final in an A/C that size can get dicey in a hurry.

Flaps the size of BARN DOORS and ailerons to match. What a wing. She looks so much better with turbofans.

At that angle, so close to the ground, the pilot has a future in crop dusting.

That pic does not look “right” The Vegas hotels are a long ways from Nellis. They must use some trick photog to get that look

Thanks for the thread...always very cool.

My former condo is in the background - I used to watch the action at Nellis through binoculars from the 20th floor. The Thunderbirds are a lot better up close, though. :)

Hope they secured the nukes this time...
