A-4 at a sunny Lakenheath 08.03.24.

Gotta love a Skyhawk! C-FGZT out and back during Rwy06 operations today.

A walk into the Forest for the departure shots and then down to Eriswell for the tight turning recovery shot.

Did you by any chance use that rough bit of layby next to Volvo? Are you more likely to get A-4 there than F-35?

Thank you for the kind comments Gentlemen.👍
I've never tried shooting from the Volvo showroom - it was a much tighter downwind leg than usual so I just got lucky.

Great to see as I thought it'd gone and been replaced by the Hawks. The topside is especially brilliant!
