US Hardware in '17

Post by Thunderbolt II » Sun Dec 17, 2017 12:29 pm

Hello all. After some positive comments for my first couple of photo posts, thought I'd subject the forum to a few more from the past year! These are all US stuff over the past twelve months from around the UK. Many thanks for looking, hopefully of some interest...

Very well composed shots all of them, but #4 would be my choice. Unusual to have 2 C models and one E model in a formation. Some special event?

Yes, that's correct. It was from the USAFE fly past on the Friday.
Many thanks for all of the kind comments.
