Any Lemoore Navy guys here?
Hi all,
I have just purchased a new kick ass 400mm lens for my DSLR and would love to try it out on some fast jets.
Last year I happened to be driving along I-5 when I decided to head towards Lemoore and see if I could get some Hornet pics.
I stumbled across some photographers (amatuers like me) under the approach near the main highway south of the field and stood with them for an hour or so but didnt see a single jet. I think it was a friday from memory.
Is there a particular day of the week where I can expect to see some Hornets in the pattern and maybe even a particular time? Evening would be best with the low light but I am flexible with timing.
any guidance before making the long drive would be awesome,
cheers for now,

Turns out Tuesday is rather busy at Lemoore and totally worth the drive. Much entertainment.
"Better to take your lens and camera out to the Panamint valley and the Star Wars canyon overlook. Google it."
I hope to make it there one day but that will require a much bigger lens. And some more practice.....
