The Susans will be whining about how loud the F-35A are...same folks who fought against bringing them to Tucson.

Just flew right over my house. Pretty cool.  I was hoping they would be in one big formation, but it was 4 different groups of 4 or 3.  Still loud and cool

I timed my trip to Buckeye pretty good, the formation passed me on the 303 as it headed south. 

I wish there would be fly overs like this more often. It felt good to see so many people pulled off the road to watch and take pride in their military.

No matter what branch you served in, thank you brothers and sisters.

You can go out By Luke and watch them at least 6 days a week and probably 7. I bet the only reason they don't flyover the City all the time is the Susans that complain about the Noise.  That would be cool. Kills Me the people that buy houses out by Luke ,then complain constantly  about the noise. Hasn't it been there since World War 2.  I went up and st by the 101 west of Cave Creek and got great Video!.............BOB
