A few from the forest entrance yesterday starting with the very early C5M arrival. After a latish start there was a steady stream of departures and recoveries, including F15E 97-0222 devoid of conformal and wing tanks, SJ coded F15E 89-0505 and a crop of the standard configured Eagles. Four F35A's joined the party with numerous missed approaches and circuits. As usual there was plenty of haze to blight a lot of the images but all in all a good day. Comments and criticism's welcome.

Thanks for looking

Great set of photos those! We were there that morning for about an hour too, but near the car park area. Only saw two F-35s take off, but plenty of F-15s including that SJ bird. How come that’s there?

Great selection, really like the last one.

Hi Paul

Top set there

A Mudhen doesn’t look right without the conformal tanks

Thanks for posting

Criticism? I don't think so!
Every one a winner there mate and I particularly like the last one.
Thanks for sharing them

Lovely set,Paul!

That E with out conformal tanks is practically indecent.
