A lot of photos are sent to me via e-mail without any supporting information, this is one of them: "VMFA-314 F-35C Lightning II launches from USS Abraham Lincoln CVN-72"

When I first downloaded it I even thought they were the same pic. Obviously they're not but pretty close.

Good series. Your second one looks to be an aggressive 'clearing turn' off the catapult but coming from a 1 cat - I dunno.

I liked FLUFFY info. In my world extraneous irrelevant text info is called FLUFF. It has another meaning in another world.
