I try to hang out in Indian Springs for a few minutes at least. I
have been lucky about three or four times to see a Predator returning
from the Range and landing at Creech. Each time they parallel HWY 95
and land coming from the South. It is really cool to see how smooth
they are. The amount of building and construction across from the
Prison is amazing. I thought at one time that was (or near, maybe a
little south) was used by Metro from Las Vegas. The most interesting
piece on recent construction has taken place behind the first hill
closest to Hwy 95 just before you get to Indian Springs if you are
coming from Las Vegas. If you are traveling South into Vegas and look
just at the right time you can see roofs of new buildings behind the
hill. If yo are driving from Las Vegas, you can't see the buildings at
all. There is only one dirt road that connects it to Creech and a few
dirt roads that head out to the Range south of Creech and a dirt road
that leads to the South Range control complex across from the prison.
It is interesting how they completely (almost completely) concealed
the buildings from the Hwy. I would imagine 99 out of 100 people
passing by would not spot the brief view of the buildings. Last
weekend we got our first glimpse of snow on Mt. Charleston. It is
still snow covered. The lightning has been unbelievable for the past
two weeks. I have never seen so much lightning. Are you going to
Aviation Nation this year?
It doesn't look likely that I can make Aviation Nation. I'm not ruling
it out though. It's a decent airshow, though not great for
photography. Low angle sun due to the time of year and you look right
into it. I've shot it from the back by Hollywood Blvd once, but I
think the empty lot looks used now. People would just park and watch
the show like a drive in movie. The neat thing about Aviation Nation
are the static displays. They wheel out some commie plane from the
petting zoo. The guys that do the reverse engineering have displays of
foreign manpads. The GPS jammer squad is there. One year when I was
there they had an airplane doing surveillance and then relayed the
video to a Rover. The F22 demo is a killer. My preference though is
for Edwards. Much more friendly to photographers. Security at Nellis
is really uptight. The no backpack rule is a pain. Travis believe it
or not has a no scanner rule. Nuts!
Vegas gets great cloud to could lightning. I've seen two ground hits
by the ET Highway. You get a yellow glow by the ground, probably due
to ionizing sodium.
