Is Lakenheath open Monday 14th May?

Hi guys and girls

I did read somewhere on this site that there are dates when the USAF/ Lakenheath don't fly, but for the life of me I cannot find it. Is Lakenheath planned to be open on Monday (14th May)

Lakenheath 3rd Apr 18

Hi all Popped over to Lakenheath early to try and get some departure, and it didn't disappoint! They seemed to hold for about 45 minutes due to 2 aircraft going u/s, although one was fixed back in a HAS ans another was replaced and all 9 went in the end :clap: https://farm1.staticflickr.com/883/4050...

Re: The first of a feast of 'frames

Paddyboy Ah, I remember Waddington 95 very well. If my memory serves me right, 95 was the first 2 day airshow Waddington put on. I was an SAC in the RAF based at Waddo and if I am correct the F-117 was there also. My main role within the airshow was coach parking duties, although the second day we h...

I unfortunately had to leave just before Reach 504 arrived and the scheduled C5, but none the less a great mor...

Re: Lakenheath 22 Jan 18 afternoon IFE!!

Hi all
