6 F-35's today

Great to see today over Holt, Norfolk. 2 lots of 3 not far apart coming from Lakenheath direction coasting out. Haven't seen that many together before and distinct engine tone from the 15's. Keep it up Lakenheath

I think six RAF F-35s were involved in the CiiiR practice fly-by... out over the North Sea and then a straight run in from Aldeburgh to Cranwell amidst the various other types

Yes, they passed over Sleaford 30 seconds before the Typhoons.

I could see the Tiffies on ADSB and noted the gap! Called my sister's attention to the armada as she lives only a mile or three south of the practice route and as an RAF Widow is rather keen on fast pointy things... unfortunately she was enjoying a home visit pedicure and says they didn't even hear anything!
