awesome, Thanks for the offer of help Andy
don't know when to go now, aviation nation is my next best opportunity, being from the north and having winter 9 1/2 months out of the year don't think i could handle the temps in august . i was there in 2000 for the inaugural NHRA race in april and roasted my rear end off at that time, august would be a killer
thought also about taking some time there and check out some of the canyons north of vegas for some Mach Loop style of shooting, have you ever tried that?
Thanks again

Not a problem, Brian. Like you, I did lots of research on the internet. But then when I got there, I had to observe what was going on from a photography point of view, meaning taking into consideration lighting angles, use of runways, time of activity, traffic conditions, wind direction, and many other factors; and concluded the best spots for certain conditions. Of course, it might change from day to day or from visit to visit. That's why it's good to make decisions with the most up-to-date information (usually when I woke up each morning when I was there, or even when I arrive at the base).
I've shot at those canyons a number of times. It's quite a trip to get to the vantage point for shooting, but when something comes by, you get 10 seconds of rush. I have lots of photos from those passes, which I have not posted on my site, since it's a site dedicated to bird photography, so I might wait till I find another place to upload my aviation photos hehe.
