REQ: Lakenheath Monday 6.8.18

Post by Freeman Lowell » Sun Aug 05, 2018 6:41 pm

I’ve read that the Aviano F-16s have been operating from HASs this past two weeks. Today the majority, if not all, of the deployment are sat on (or near) the visitors pan.
Until today, the 2 tardy ‘Saudi’ F-15s were visible from the field on the opposite side of the A1065. Today, after their abortive departure attempt, they weren’t easily seen from this location.
So, my requests are:
Is there a reason for the AVs relocation,
Where are the two non-based F-15s currently sat and,
Does anyone have any departure info they can share?
Thanks for reading this far.

Hi Mate
I believe the AVs are departing today (possibly already have, I haven't caught up today yet!) so that would account for them, can't answer the other parts though.
Cheers
Mark

Many thanks Mark. Looks like 12 today and 2 tomorrow. The ‘Saudis’ are proving more illusive though..
Cheers, Freeman
