Yeah agree. I think over the last year or so, if you are in east Anglia and see 2 or more jets arsing about they are going to be yank f-35's (the RAF are in their sims) Previously there was a guess between 35/15. But now the f-15c/d has gone home. Anyone know why an f-35 is much louder than an f-15? Telling a f-15 and f-35 apart when not too high seems to be the tailerons/flaperons? you know....the bit at the back which we used to call the tailplane
There is a distinct difference if you have the correct glasses on
