Same area as Stars Wars Canyon. After crash I believe in 2019 they don’t use it anymore. It’s part of the sidewinder loop. BIL flies out of Lemoore in this area.

So did we. Out foil boarding, came over us around roadrunner, and turned toward Havasu. Pretty cool to see them at that altitude.

About the only cool thing about living where I live….6000ft from the end of the runway in Long Beach, the jets regularly come over the house at about 800ft.

He said almost daily (Monday-Friday) if the weather is good cause you’ll have lemoore, China lake and other bases using that area. He’s in the reserves now so he was in Lemoore this past week staying current on the F18 and he flew the area on Wednesday. Attached are some the photographers sent him flying last week. He said some photographers will go to Fairview in Tulare County and there are roads to spots. I’d reach out to ronritchell on instagram and see if he’ll give some insight.
