The military planes were training 14,000ft above the Yorkshire Coast.
Steve Bowden took the images and says he was very lucky to capture them.
Steve told This Is The Coast that the larger aircraft is a KC135 Stratotanker and the "fast jets" are F15 "Eagle" planes.
They were seen taking it turns to fill the tanker up, whilst flying back and forth over Scarborough.
This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.
A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
