First post in a while, and also first time seeing a couple of these A/C come into NI. The F-35C's sounded a whole lot different in the break, than anything I was use to hearing.

Awesome catch!! 

Ok, question here for you.  Do you know ahead of time that there are going to possible be color birds coming in, or do you just go and hang out and get lucky.  I've seen some people get some awesome stuff coming through there, but in all my years visiting it is not super busy there, other than the helios.

If this was on the 10th it was for the Centennial plus 6yrs....I heard they had a closed event.

Your correct, the F-35 and the Hawkeye were taken on the 9th and as far as I knew, for a Veteran's day event, But I did know that Joker 400 and VFA-34  was in town with CVW 2 and bouncing back and forth from EC, and the Sparten was on det,.. That being said, unless there's a big Det out there, you can spend most days staring at the ocean, and, or have pure luck.
