History made today with the arrival of the 34th FS from the 388th FW, deployment of 6 (to date) F35A's from Hill Airforce base, first to LN and Europe.
Dedicated to all the heads up guys

Light improved as they arrived towards the end.

Great to meet up with Reapers, second week running.

Nice set XWP29

Just managed to see the last four as they dashed through the clouds as they crossed Grimsby ahead of the tanker.
Thanks for posting
