Back in 2019 some Vipers were based at Eindhoven Air Base for a couple of days. It’s a transport base, so normally you can see C-130’s and MRTT’s here (back in the day KDC-10’s as well).
The parking structure gives you a really nice vantage point.

Also back in 2019 we had the 75 anniversary of Market Garden, coinciding with the annual Falcon Leap Para Exercise at our local base. It’s an international affair with both plane and para units from several NATO countries participating.

Lovely spot that is. Especially with the fall lighting. They come in for lunch almost daily now.
Finally out and about again. Lots of heat haze and bad light in the afternoon, but good to see and hear some fighter jets again.

So much heat haze… editing an image (they are huge, coming from an R5…) while taking a break at work and the F35’s taking off in the background (office is located near the base).

Heat haze just adds to the reality of aviation photography. Great photos Rog, glad you are back on the scene again

Nice! It’s tough to get good light. Guess autumn/winter gives you more options in the morning with a lower sun.

The F-35s will be stationed at Eindhoven Air Base for another week.
