F35 Sonic Boom
It seems one of Lakenheath's F35 broke the sound barrier "inadvertently" while flying over Lincolnshire:

Re: C-17 ZZ175 BCT811 at Honington.
Blenhem 34 landed back at Honington and could be night-stopping.

Re: C-17 ZZ175 BCT811 at Honington.
Now departed. I see on ADS-B that Blenhem 34 (A400) is shown as having taken off from Honington and now doing circuits at Norwich Airport.

BCT 814 Honington
RAF C17 ZZ175 has been doing circuits at Honington for the past two hours and has landed once. Now on the ground with SOG Herk 20-5937 passing over it.

Lovely set. Some superb shots and I agree that it's nice to see some colour coming back to the fleet. Hope this will progress to the F35's.

Kings Birthday Flypast 15th June
Might as well start this now as notification of rehearsals has appeared in the local paper. Rehearsal will be on 3/4 June and aircraft involved will include Tornados according to the paper! Maybe the RAF will borrow some!https://www.eadt.co.uk/news/24206117.military-aircraft-flyovers-norfolk-suffolk...

Re: V-22 Osprey Grounded
Don't expect to see the USAF Ospreys flying any time soon though. Quoting from the above article, a phased return to flight is planned: "Phase one of AFSOC’s return to fly plan includes ground and simulator training integrating planned flight controls, safety briefings, a review of maintenance recor...

Google Earth F15's
Just been looking at the current image of Lakenheath, which is dated13.06.2023 and it shows a line-up of 31 F15's on the South ramp. Seems unusual to me as I thought that they are normally in their HAS's. Also a C17 on the North side plus 5 f35's and two f15's on the taxiways. Was this some special ...
