▶️ 2x F-35 FULL AFTERBURNER Departure at Leeuwarden

[@grabir01]

The second had no after burner till it was airborne. And still.. If was off the ground in nothing flat. Amazing for sure.

Not always allowed at EHLW, sorry

Mooi in beeldgebracht 🤘😁

[@fransmargadant]

Dank je, we doen ons best

[@markusnachname1619]

There was a good looking plane in the video, for just a little moment. 😃

[@fransmargadant]

You mean the F-16 or Hercules right?

[@markusnachname1619]

@@fransmargadant Oh... I didn't see the hercules.... so two good locking planes 😃 in a world where the F-16 , A10, AV8, F-18 do not exist, the F-35 might make some sence... but in this world there wouldn't very much beauty.

Thank you, Sir!

Why didn’t they just take off vertically ?

@@fransmargadant Aaah okay :)

[@rinkevandijk3902]

Ik blijf toch bij de F16

[@fransmargadant]

Tja, iedereen zijn favoriet toch? Hoewel, F-104, F-14....

[@paulh4943]

quite an ugly plane to be honest.

[@sandervandenberg977]

Agree, pretty ugly. I'll take the Falcon 7 days of the week and twice on Sunday.😊

[@fransmargadant]

Ugly? Get used to it, almost every air force buys the F-35. 40 shades of gray
