Keep the Forest Entrance Clear

Post by jonny7 »

Maybe this is why they asked the spotters to steer clear of the forest entrance :lol: as the F15/16s would be cutting through..ha,ha. One F35 from Duxford taken, it
seems to emphasise the hot weather and aircraft about lately... :smile:

I might do LN Strike Eagle, if the wife lets me :shock: .It was just a play on words, I'd read somewhere about a request from the land-owners who use the forest entrance.
It then seemed appropriate after the shots I'd taken, to keep the forest area clear as the jets passed through not far from the entrance, as seen in the shot below...cheers... :rock:

Those sensors maybe part of a missile warning system.
