I hope everybody who attended Aviation Nation 2010 was on there best
behavior. If the "Hog" don't get ya the "snipers" in the roof of the
Thunderbird's Hangar will. Two sets of snipers were ready for action.
Two person teams were on each corner. Spotting scopes were visible but
unfortunately I couldn't see there rifles that well.

I don't remember any deadly force signs at Nellis. Where are they
posted?
It was at the Aggressor table display. They had a fence with some
camo on it and two or three of the deadly force signs.

OK, so it's not really on display at Nellis. BTW, those snipers have
been used a long time. I'd like to know their rules of engagement.
Nellis security is significantly greater than most air shows. The "no
backpack" rule is a killer for those that want to bring a SLR and a
few lenses. Fortunately, they will issue media passes if you ask.
The Nellis airshow is really hampered by the bad lighting. It's not
their fault since the runway has to be designed based on prevailing
winds, not good photography! Most shots are back lit. You need to over
expose a bit, basically blow out the sky but get decent exposure on
the aircraft. The nice thing about the Nellis airshow is their static
displays are exceptional. Not as good as Edwards, but much better than
most airshows.
