I looked close and yes, the bottom flag is different on each. I will post 4 more photos, a close-up of each ship's flags. Bob thanks, reading the pennants, looks like YP707 was the lead ship YP708 second YP706 third with YP705 as tail-end Charlie. and YP707 requesting the pilot.. Thanks again... great shots... BTW: your EXIF confirms the pennants.. they were running close to-gether. 707 9:35 708 9:36 706 9:37 705 9:38 |
