Roll on the cold weather, I say! ❄️ I'm looking forward to capturing some more fluff on the F35s at RAF Lakenheath! 🇬🇧🇺🇸 @thef35 @F35Pilots @theF35JPO 🤟

Stacked, packed and ready to blast. Seriously, can it get any cooler than this? Four F22 Raptors heading to the active to depart RAF Lakenheath back in March of this year 🇬🇧🇺🇸 @48FighterWing

SHADY J 🇺🇸 F-15E Strike Eagles from Seymour Johnson rocketing out of RAF Mildenhall for home last weekend. I’d be stepping on the gas too if I’d been away for that long! 🔥

Looking back at the B-1 deployment to RAF Fairford 🇬🇧🇺🇸 Here are just a few images I captured over two days back in April. Crazy how time has flown almost as fast as these bombers do! I’m sure the residents of the Cotswold and beyond will be grateful for some quiet again 😅

An end to the deployment at RAF Fairford? 🇬🇧🇺🇸 For aviation spotters, it has been a pretty incredible sight to behold over the past year. As for the future, who knows... Wishing all those involved safe travels homeward!

TABOR Flight, safe travels 🤙 It was great to catch these F-15E Strike Eagles of the 4th FW, returning from the Middle East & heading home after a stopover here at RAF Mildenhall 🇬🇧🇺🇸 The light was good today, which made for some superb departure shots! 📸

Special Operations 😎 Over the years, I’ve been lucky enough to capture both the MC-130J Commando II & the AC-130 gunship here in the UK 🇺🇸🇬🇧 Both play a vital role in U.S. Air Force Special Operations 📸

Just a bit smokey innit 😅 A B-52 Stratofortress departing RAF Fairford making use of being based outside the ULEZ zone 🇬🇧🇺🇸

Two F-35As prepare for departure as darkness falls over RAF Lakenheath 🇬🇧🇺🇸 This is by far my favourite night shot I've captured of the @thef35 so far, but I hope to top it one day 📸 @48FighterWing @theF35JPO @LockheedMartin @usairforce

Ain't been no clouds, so the F-35 had to make some 😎 Serious question: do the pilots realise just how much fluff they produce? It's awesome when the conditions are just right for this kind of departure! Captured at RAF Lakenheath - @thef35 @F35Pilots @theF35JPO 🇬🇧🇺🇸

STRIKE SILHOUETTE 😎 Sometimes shooting into the sun can work out in your favour! Captured at RAF Lakenheath, catching this F-15 departure with some beautiful rainbow vapour was pretty cool. 📸 @48FighterWing

Still the best V22 Osprey departure sequence I've captured to date 🤟 Taken at RAF Mildenhall, home to the 67th Special Operations Squadron of the 352nd Special Operations Wing 🇬🇧🇺🇸 Such an incredible aircraft. Hope I can catch more shots like this in the future 🙏

The F-15QA Advanced Eagle 😎 Here's a selection of images I've captured of this impressive fighter jet during its visit to the UK in 2024, at the Royal International Air Tattoo and RAF Lakenheath 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇶🇦 @BoeingDefense

Tearing up the sky 💨 An F-35 climbing out at full power from RAF Lakenheath is always an incredible sight, & when the conditions are just right, the vapour makes for some truly dramatic shots 🔥 @thef35 @F35Pilots @LockheedMartin @48FighterWing

Welcome to the United Kingdom, VC-25B Bridge 🇬🇧🇺🇸 It was a pleasure to capture the @USAirForce's brand new 'Air Force One' as it arrived at @RAFMildenhall this evening, giving base personnel the opportunity to see it up close 📸 @WhiteHouse @HQUSAFEAFAF

Fifth Generation Power 🔥 I've been capturing @thef35 for quite a few years now at RAF Lakenheath, and I still haven't grown tired of them 📸 Those quick climbs are especially impressive! I do wonder how many G's the pilots can pull during one.

Oh go on then.. just a few more 😎 Two EA-37B 's - Callsign AXIS43 & AXIS86 arrived at RAF Mildenhall yesterday afternoon for a gas and go. I couldn't resist getting those close up angles 📸
