6 jets together over Dereham. Norfolk today....
Over Dereham today 26th Feb at around 1220pm. Twin engine large a/c, assume it was a tanker (looked to small for Voyager) and 5 fighters, 3 off one wing and 2 off the other. Just a little high to ident with just eyeballs. Just wondered who else saw them and what they were?

KC-10 Roma 31 and KC-135 Roma 32 with F-15s I think, after linking up they headed towards Lands End. There was a similar flight earlier which headed the same way, definitely F-15s out of Lakenheath with that one.

That all makes complete sense. Obviously was a KC-10 "twin tanker" as from that height you can't see the third. Just checked the size voyager/KC-10 and the 10 is quite a bit smaller. As for the jets. With my eyes f35/15 look all the same at that height. Just very unusual to see that type of formation over land, normally in tanking mode when that close. Mystery solved :ok: |
I was up at Horning 18 months ago, I found the F-35s and F-15s damn hard to tell apart with the naked eye when they were above 10000 or so! One guy was going around and around, eventually after much squinting I decided it was an F-35!
