VMFA-211 F-35Bs to Lakenheath 26/04/2021

Post by Nighthawke » Mon Apr 26, 2021 9:27 pm

I am sure there will be far better photos posted by those nearer to the base. I moved a bit further out to Wilde Street where Hunter XG210 is kept. Far too busy elsewhere for my liking! Anyway here is my effort with a bit of post processing. In arrival order as previously posted.
