F-35 @ VYT

Just for the record

F-35B ZM145 "Marham 83" of 617 Squadron performed 2 x direct approaches, 1 x hover approach, 1 x direct approach to depart for RTB RAF Marham.
If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

Watched it from the dunes, quite impressed! Do you know what the Citation was that left just before the F.35 arrived by any chance?

Cheers

If it was a civilian/ Netjets aircraft, there good chance it was in to bring the owner of a hotel (living in Switzerland) to do their monthly visit on Anglesey, I assume?
