The remaining two VMFA-314 F/A-18A's departed Lakenheath today. Both made there way towards the runway, but one had to head back in with an issue which left the CO's machine holding in the last chance area.

Currently participating in Ex Joint Warrior 14-2 is this factory fresh P-8A from VP-45. Sadly, it did not move during two brief visits and there was more chance of getting activity at Leeming so a quick shot was taken over the fence. https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5606/15506715455_68b3db36b5_o.jpg P...

The 100th ARW recently received this tanker from Altus AFB. It was parked perfectly for a nice image last Sunday. No doubt it will receive the Box D markings in due course. https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3923/14820857852_98fe4efac3_o.jpg KC-135R 61-0321 RAF Mildenhall by finband76 , on Flickr Dinger.

Arriving late in the day for Waddington Airshow was this VX-1 P-8A.
