On Thursday @RoyalAirForce photogs captured participants of Ex Point Blank, a large scale exercise designed by the RAF & @usairforce‘s @48FighterWing.

This iteration included @USMC @LockheedMartin F-35B’s that flew into @RAF_Marham from @MCASYumaAZ, along with @OC617Sqn F-35B’s
Photogs from @RAFLossiemouth captured @eurofighter/ @AirbusDefence/ @BAESystemsAir Typhoons who flew down and took part in the exercise.

Flying alongside the other participants and increasing tactical proficiency between the participating nations 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 🇳🇱
Other participants included the visiting @BoeingDefense B52’s out of @TeamMinot via RAF Fairford, F16’s from @AirAviano and the usual F15 component out of @48FighterWing along with the Royal Netherlands Air Force...
Not forgetting the @AirbusDefence @AirTanker Voyager and @BoeingDefense KC-135 out of @RAFBrizeNorton and @RAFMildenhall providing the fuel, a vital component that kept the participating aircraft in the skies throughout.

A successful, unique and well captured exercise for all ✈️
