Re: RAF Mildenhall to close. Lakenheath to get F-35 by 2020
Is that the same Waddington that has just re-opened after the best part of three years and many millions of pounds spent on upgrades?

Not sure about the mission times, but the one difference as far as your question is concerned, is that we can use our own tankers to refuel the E3's. The RC's are boom refuelling only, hence the need for a USAF tanker.

Indeed. I think when we consider if these projects exist, ...
