You will see different things at Cedar Ranch and at Coyote Summit. At Cedar Pipeline Ranch, you will mostly see transport aircraft doing airdrops, and helicopters, including the Russian Hip and Hind doing low-level exercises. Some of the aircraft may be landing at the nearby Keno airstrip (the airstrip itself is out of view from the ranch). There is also a chance of low flying fighter jets, mostly along the Reveille Range.

At Coyote Summit, you will see low-flying jets, coming right through the gap only a few hundred feet away. If you climb one of the hills nearby, you will be looking down on the jets. Sometimes you can also see a transporter come through the gap. They typically follow after the jets.

In both places, there is a chance that you won't see anything. It all depends on the day's mission objective. But if you do, the excitement factor at Coyote Summit is hard to beat. If you have two days, by all means, try both locations.
