They used to get shots up around Fort Worth. Do an advanced search in the transportation section to see who was shooting them, maybe they can help.

Check posts by former member CaptainTom - you'll have to dig thru the posts, but you will find some useful titbits.

The place to look for is Carswell Field

I thought this post was going to be about aperture, and I was thinking - isn't the next stop after f22 f32, and then 45, and then 64..... but nevermind

I got a few picks of an F22 at the 2009 Airshow here on Randolph AFB. I was working that day and had great shots from the end of our buildings second floor fire escape. It happened to be right across the street from the runway they were all using that year.

I'd check for any local airshows unless you are wanting to get close up pictures of one of these.

f35 is flown out of Fort Worth, test flights take it over Beggs Ranch in western Fort Worth and Willow Park. The problem is knowing when it is going to fly.
