Does anybody know what sort of times have the raptors been taking off lately?
(I will go to Marham tomorrow and may stop at Lakenheath to see the Raptors)

As discussed further up the thread the Raptors are due to depart back to the US imminently. Original plan was for this morning, however with the late arrival of their tanker into Mildenhall, it's reasonable to assume a 24hr slip meaning departure at 1000 UTC/1100L Tuesday morning instead. I don't have any hard intel - so don't take as gospel!

Take-off times have been immaterial for days now due to early fog. Check back on Forum to see later launch time on last Friday. Please be aware that their next take-off could be their last for this deployment! ;)
