My 1st LF tail code F-35A in NAS Ft worth last Sat. He came out to play and did quite a bit of option runs after making a 1.8 hrs flight with Chaser F_16 137.
Caught some great banking while he make those Low key and High key options.
Full report here

Forum rules
This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

Re: Luke F-35A encounter
Nice pics! And that's a 30-year old chaser! Time to introduce the O for Obsolete in USAF serial presentation again? Really nice!

Re: Luke F-35A encounter
That moonshot is certainly a winner.
The Viper will NEVER be obsolete. Never!!!O for Obsolete

Re: Luke F-35A encounter
Oh, but don't get me wrong, the O for Obsolete in the pre-80's USAF serial presentation doesn't indicate its obsolescence to spotters at all! On the contrary!Thermal wrote:The Viper will NEVER be obsolete. Never!!!O for Obsolete
