F18 Level Flight In Star Wars Canyon

My first trip to "Star Wars Canyon" was such a thrill. There are no set times for the jets to fly as this isn't an air show. These pilots are flying the canyon to get flight hours and training.
In this image I captured the jet as he levels out after banking left right before he turns right and drops down deeper into the canyon.

F18 Level Flight In Star Wars Canyon This is an image of an F18 flying through Star Wars Canyon in Death Valley National Park. I captured this image just east of the Father Crowley's overlook for the official name of this area, Rainbow Canyon. Here the jet is near level with the south wall of the canyon banking slightly left before the pilot dropped further into the canyon. The background is the north wall of the canyon. The wall is barren and rocky and certainly poses a hazard to the jets flying through here.

@BGP I’ve flown that canyon many times. Always wished somehow I could connect with the people taking photos.

@thams Must be a great experience. I haven't seen much activity since the crash a few years back.

@thams If you have a tail number I can reach out to a few people that I know that have spent more time there then I have. I can have them check their images.
