2 x flights of F-16s departed after 9pm, any help with callsigns/serials much appreciated as I was trying my hand at night photography and had put my scanner down.

Nice to see so many Fc'ers down there, hope you all got home safely.

Hi would you have the Jets in order of departure between 1400-1500 on Monday 21st. I was stood at the nature reserve and my camera just wasn’t powerful enough and with the heat haze.

Al
There was actually 4 that buzzed the field together.
860164 was also involved.
166, 165 and 164 landed in sequence with 0019 last one down.

Pugwash.

Cheers. I was heading back to my car thinking that was it for departures when the F15's appeared so probably got disorientated with them passing trying to get each one with my camera. Then as I carried on to my car that's when I saw two more F16's depart.
