But I thought Saturday's were closed...?!
After being lucky enough to catch the Mountain Home F-15E's last weekend, I was even luckier enough to catch the first arrival of the highly awaited F35A Lightning II's, to RAF Lakenheath. Though I didn't make the decision to go until this morning, as it was so up in the air (pardon the pun) I was very happy to make it across.
Many thanks for the help Trev, and glad to have met up with the other Reaper boys again today I am sure there have been many shots already, so apologies if they are very similar, but here is my version of events from an awesome day...

Very nice and well presented James and yes a very nice day. Had a day in the garage planned to do more renovation on XWP till Trevor's heads up. A hot cross bun is a small pay back for your Dad's bacon rolls
All the best from Keith, Neil, Neal or whatever I am called now
