We all know Lakenheath is a very busy & entertaining base and for that reason, you are always going to see lots of shots here on FC, but for me, I love F-15 Eagles and cannot view enough of the great shots that fellow spotters put up. I hope you like these slightly different views. It was also my first visit with my new SIGMA 150-600 C lens. Comments always welcome. Thanks for looking

Hello matey,

Hi Martin,
Some excellent and different views rarely seen of the 06 end :thumb: , enjoyed these. Looks like the near on 1000mm lens range you have there got off to a great start. Landing shot with runway lights for me. :cool:

Like you I enjoy being around when fast jets are operating. You can end up with a lot of similar photos but so what? Well done for trying different positions to the norm.

Numbers 7 and 8 look great with the jelly effect, and the moonshot is awesome :thumb:
