Lakenheath log 4.3.25

A morning visit produced the following. I had intended to arrive earlier but it took over 30 minutes to get through Brandon due to roadworks.
13 F-35A had taken off prior to arrival. A fellow spotter kindly provided the serials. All returned by 0934. Unfortunantly I do not know callsigns or groups that took off. 20-5600/lN, 19-5493/LN. 20-5576/WA. 20-5614/LN. 20-5617/LN,

It was difficult to read landing aircraft from the car park due to facing the sun. Moral of the story, 'get there early to get them taking off'

Nice log keep them coming - Lakenheath are flying from 07:30 this week at least

I think that is the reason I go to the busy forest entrance as you have the sun behind you although of course the majority of F-35A depart from the north eor making them nice and easy to read

The F-35A do carry individual unit markings on the tail that are quite distinguishable from either side
