Great set. Must admit that I'm loving the nose art on these aircraft returning from ops

Liking those

Of course they have already been through Lakenheath but coming back with nose art makes all the difference

Hi Nick

Great day out again yesterday, good company though a real shame I couldn't stay for the MO's :(

Cracking shots, the light was perfect and the background really adds to it :thumb: :Wow:

Very nice Mr Nick :D

MO F-15s look great in that light with some nice nose art as well. Also good to see a 'Grizzly' - just a oh fudge I'm so far away

All the best and keep them coming - hopefully see you all soon
