Carswell Friday 12th June

Post by hawgwash » Sat Jun 13, 2020 9:29 pm

After having back surgery, I was able to drive for the first time in months so spent a few hours at my local, NAS Fort Worth JRB, or Carswell to us old folks. A few F-35 test flights were up with their chase F-1's of ATAC. A few of the local Spads and Cowboys were up but a pretty quiet day.

F-35I 935 also wearing FMS serial 5434
