First 493rd FS F-35 plus one...

Post by hawgwash » Thu Mar 24, 2022 3:35 am

I think I posted shots of the 495th squadron aircraft, 19-5495 marked "495 FS" a week or so ago. I was able to catch the first 493rd FS aircraft, 19-5493 at Carswell today. Also caught the first FY20 jet for Hill AFB, 20-5566.

Super sharp

Great stuff

Looking forward to seeing 493 although I would quite like to see some more HL coded F-35A
