I got an interesting opportunity today. A few months ago I was contacted by a member of a group of local aviation photographers I belong to. they were asking if I wanted to attend a photocall at NAF El Centro to which I quickly said yes. Today was the day of said photocall. We met outside the base and did some normal photography from the fence from 8:00am. Then, at 12:00pm we all went to the main gate and continued on base. From there, the 40 photographers invited, loaded on to buses, and well... were escorted here:

We were literally inches from the runway where F-18's were taking off. Let me tell you.. When that afterburner kicks in a mere 30 ft from you, it shows its power! Cool

I was wearing earplugs AND the headphone style hearing protection. Those bastards were LOUD.

Looks like those aircraft ruined a lot of your shots. What a horrible place to take photos, some people have the worst luck.

There was some amazing grass out there! Even some hills to take photos of. But all the damn planes kept getting in the way. I took 800 images and not a single one could keep the planes out of the shot. I think they were out to mess up my day Roll Eyes
