Just did a comparison of Google Earths' pic of Amberly and the posted pic, no matches that I can identify no matter the image rotation and magnification. Could it be RAAF Tindal?

It is actually is Palmdale.

The 3 UAVs are left to right:
X-47B
X-47A Pegasus
RQ-4 Global Hawk

I was hoping Greg would see it first as he works at Amberley. I want to "test" his knowledge.  ;D

Given I am often based at Amberley I can assure you that that is not showing it...or maybe I am part of a conspiracy. ;) 8)

4 Polish Air Force Su-22 are having fun over Baltic Sea! 👊💪🤙✈🇵🇱📷
but to be quite frank It was a nightmare for them because they flew at almost the lowest speed after CASA C-295, which flew at almost the highest speed!
Respect for pilots!

T-10 days to the unveiling of the 2018 NORAD 60th Anniversary @CF18Demo jet.
Here's Roid, the 2016 team demo pilot, pitching up on takeoff into the dirty roll. I'm posting a team jet every day until April 3rd so be sure to follow and not miss a shot and the unveiling.
