Part 2. The demo included the following assets: F-16 x2 Aggressors, F-16 x2, F-35 x2, F-15E x2 (one Saturday), F-22 x1, A-10 x2, HH-60 x2. The demonstration began with a simulated attack of the airfield by the two F-16 Aggressors followed by the launch of the F-22, the only aircraft to not have departed prior to the start of the display. The F-22 pulled up into the vertical at the end of the runway releasing flares as it climbed.

Part 4. A-10s provide cover for the HH-60s while F-35s and F-15Es simulated attack runs.

Part 5. While very little flares were deployed during the display on Saturday, disappointing many photographers, Sunday was a completely different story!

Mind giving me a summary of the 1997 show?Chris Smallenberg wrote: ↑Fri Nov 11, 2022 3:07 am Part 1. Though initially disappointed at what seemed a lacklustre lineup considering it was the 75th Anniversary of the USAF (still at a bit of a loss at the lack of warbirds that have been present at every other Nellis show I've attended), I still had a great time at Aviation Nation 2022 and it turned out be an amazing show nonetheless (just not really a show that celebrated the anniversary like the 50th in 1997, granted there is no way a show of that calibre would ever happen again). Anyways, on with the photos. Here are a collection from the air power demo; definitely the highlight of the show for me.

The show was a disappointment when held against expectations for the 75th, but it was still a very good show. I was blown away by how easy parking, security, and the shuttle busses were. The time change made for fantastic lighting on Sunday. It was a great way to close out the season.
