An excellent day at the fence with some lovely people. The light after the fog burnt off was stunning! Here are some F-35 shots from the day.

The Valkyrie boss jet put on an excellent show, you know who you are.

A very nice set. The blue in the sky makes for a kind of air-to-air feel to these pictures. Well done, you can be happy with those
