Thanks for the info man. I checked out the schedule and it looks like all the red flags are cancelled all the way until January . Oh well I'll have to try another time. I would love to see a missile launch. That would be kick ass!

They open the Edwards Open House with a sonic boom. It is a high altitude one, but that is one place where you know you will get to hear one on a schedule.

They didn't have an open house last year, so maybe they will have one this year. I think Edwards has the best static displays. The flying is good there too. IIRC, that is the only place I ever saw a B-1B do a Cuban-8. Shadowhawk probably knows this for sure.



Do you know where I would find the date of the next open house?

I have been to the Miramar Air Show. While it is awesome they only go fast enough to create the condensation cone but they don't actually go supersonic

Exactly my thoughts. I always thought there was a specific reason the US Government chose Nevada to do nuclear testing and build Area 51. It's an odd state for sure. I have driven through Arizona and New Mexico but nothing is quite as desolate as the Nevada landscape.

I'm not quite sure on that one. I was going more for the tourist value than anything haha. I will do some exploring one day when I am not cramped for time or cash.

Well now that I see that there are not going to be any Red Flag Operations I am rethinking it. I am going to be cramped for time and cash on this visit so I may not go after all.

I am definitely going to the Hoover Dam. I am hoping to get a picture of the all-spark.
