I could have cleaned it up in post but I wanted to show the extreme conditions you often face in the Sidewinder low level when shooting. That particular day it was about 108-110 and we had 20mph winds so its like a hot gritty hair dryer in your face. #lowlevelflying #avgeek #lowflying #nikon #starwarscanyon #jetsinthewild #sidewinderlowlevel #jedi #F22 #422tes #starwarscanyon #jeditransition #nellisafb #sidewinder #500ft500kn
