Davis Monthan AFB: Davis Monthan Air Show 2016 - Military Pictures - Air Force Army Navy Missiles Defense

Luke AFB: Luke Air Force Base Air Show 2016 - Military Pictures - Air Force Army Navy Missiles Defense

Luke was one of the first air show flight demonstrations of the USAF F-35A Lightning II and I got some good photos of it and a P-38 Lightning that flew it in the Heritage Flight. Davis Monthan featured the F-22A Raptor and a P-51 Mustang in the Heritage Flight.

Both shows featured the USAF Thunderbirds Flight Demonstration Team, an assortment of stunt planes and flight demos featuring the local inventory. At Luke that meant several F-16's and at Davis Monthan that meant A-10's, an EC-130H and HH-60's. I also particularly liked static displays at Davis Monthan of the GAU-8 30MM cannon from an A-10 and the EC-130H, the antennae array on the Electric Herk is something to behold.
