This was in May 2019. The canyon/Father Crowley Vista is very much open to the public, but regular use of the canyon by jets for low level training is no longer as prominent due to the F/A-18 crash in August 2019. We have witnessed some planes go through the canyon after the crash, including one Nevada Air Guard C-130 while clean up crews were present on our last visit in January 2020, but I have heard it is not used nearly as much as it used to be. :(
@Bobby Brady Thanks for your service! I can assure you that I have indeed seen a Nevada Air Guard C-130 run through below the ridgeline AFTER the accident. I'll bet he's not the only one. We will be headed back eventually.
Was this recent? Is the canyon open to the public?

@@4RunAmok on my way back up from the canyon (june 2020) an f-35 flew through.
