Mountain Home F-15Es (and bonus Kentucky C-130J-30) at Lakenheath 07/10/24.

8 MO F-15Es arrived at Lakenheath on Monday afternoon as TABOR71 & TABOR81 flights to head East. Awesome light for the 1st 4, not so much for the others. Kentucky ANG C-130J-30 18-5921 looked good departing into the sunset though.
Thanks Dave (Marham1564) for the suggestion to head to the 05 end - I think it worked out well for us. :D

Fabulous set of shots and in great light too (number 4 for me personally). Curiously were they taken from the 06 end?
Everyone has a photographic memory; some just don't have film.

Truly fabulous!
The first one almost took my breath away and must surely be worthy of a competition entry ;)
