Buongiorno - Lakenheath

Post by skidrow » Thu Sep 01, 2022 6:43 pm

Had a great morning at Lakenheath with great light and a mass launch of 10 x F-16, 10 x F-35s, 2 alphajets and numerous F-15s all back by 1030am. Plane spotting at its best...

Great photos 😊 There was only 8 F-16s , 5 F-35s & 16 F-15S you must have counted the F-35s twice.👍
