Last month I was part of a photography group trip to the Naval Air Facility in El Centro, California. NAF El Centro is a training field – and doesn’t have any aircraft or squadron’s based at it. It provides someplace for other Navy squadron’s (or even Allied countries) to send their aircraft for training in a different environment.
We were allowed access to the LSO shack area – right on the edge of the runway (not your normal distant airport vantage point).
The slideshow link below goes to the highlights of the trip. Mainly F/A-18 Hornets (from the East and West Coast Fleet Replacement squadron’s) practicing air to ground on the ranges, but also some T-45 Goshawk’s practicing their landings.
[There were no incidents (i.e. we didn't do anything we shouldn't) so maybe they will let us go back again in the future]
