There is a good chance that the three SJ Eagles will depart Lakenheath with the help of a tanker from Mildenhall

Hi Pune,

Also, 7 x ANG tankers Eastbound - 3 x Kansas, 2 x Wisconsin & 2 x Alaskan.

These will probably leave tomorrow, so I would get down early.

New-ish West Coast (VMGR-352) USMC KC-130J & E-6B TACAMO are also present.

Cheers,

Bob (in caravan in John's Field)

John had a lie-in this morning (and why shouldn't he ). Gate was open a bit later - that's all.

Looks like the SJ eagles had a lay in - did they make an attempt?

Bob you are an absolute star..thank you so much.

No problem, Pune.

Though it probably would have been easier if you had dropped by the caravan at the time.

I'll make a point of it next time I'm down that way Bob
