I have had long (wish)list of jets to see in the S I have had long (wish)list of jets to see in the Sidewinder, but an F-16B of VFC-13 was not on it.

Thunderbirds, 3, 2, 1, break... The @socalairshow Thunderbirds, 3, 2, 1, break... The @socalairshow at March ARB is fully backlit in the afternoon, therefore I decided today to move to the opposite side to @marchfieldairmuseum (and its somehow overpriced entrance fee). This let a shot capturing all five Thunderbirds at angle that you do not get from the airshow ground. #socalairshow #socalairshow2025 #marcharb #marchafb #thunderbirds #usafthunderbirds #airshow #riverside #california
Day 5 in the Sidewinder 16 movements, not bad for Day 5 in the Sidewinder
16 movements, not bad for a Friday morning and early afternoon. After the third pair of F-15s, Eagle nearly got boring… And then three Navy F-16s showed up, including one in blue camouflage. That completely made my day 🥳
And with Day 5 this week comes to an end

Day 3 in the Sidewinder. Different background and Day 3 in the Sidewinder.
Different background and different aircraft. 
and I would’ve never thought to catch a  C-17 flying low level 😳 it looked like it needed to squeeze into that valley. But then it was just manouvering nicely.
I did not catch the whole , as it was first too large for my camera lens and then I messed up with the recording button on my phone …
