Thanks Tally Ho. Glad you liked it. I had fun.

Hello all! I was going to post a thread with my favourite images from 2016. However, at 83 I think this is too many. So instead I've written an article on what I saw. I hope it's of interest. Happy New Year! https://turnnburnaviation.com/2017/01/04/2016-reviewed/ https://turnnburn.files.wordpress.co...

I know there's been hundreds of RAF Lakenheath articles, but here's mine.

Need to go back!!

No Eagles?!?! I did not know this.

I've been in September, August and February. Heat haze is an issue at all times. But I'd go for late September as it's slightly cooler. Mid summer is 35+ and 90% humidity.

If you've not been to Japan yet, save up and go and see the F-4s before it's too late.

They've not changed for years.

Thanks for the comments

I recently had chance to see the USAF Thunderbirds up close during sunset. Here are some of them. Sorry for the watermarks, they're linked from my website. https://turnnburn.files.wordpress.com/2016/12/img_2826.jpg?w=1000&h=&crop=1 https://turnnburn.files.wordpress.com/2016/12/img_2854.jpg?w=1000&h=...

Thanks for the positive feedback. It's a superb location and I think it benefits from being a Facility instead of a Base. Meaning many types and forces use it. The heat is unbearable though, but the same can be said for most of the South Western USA

When NAF El Centro is good, it's excellent. All images, except the CH-46, are taken OUTSIDE the fence. Awesome base!

I recently had chance to 'fly' in a US Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet simulator at NAS Lemoore, California.

Here's what it's like for a civilian https://turnnburnaviation.com/2016/12/05/box-time/

Thanks Gary. What's Bingo +5?

Hello

I noticed there's a notam for a display at Coningsby today at 1145-1245 GMT.

What's the likelihood of there being one?

Many thanks
Kenny

Yes of course 1200L. Duh.

As in 1200L? Thanks for the update.

Gary said Rebel 61 above and there's been one overhead for an hour now. Shame he's high. Doubt anyone else will work it while he's on it.

Saw that. Thank you. Guessing Rebel 61 is the high one I can see.

Tuesday was busy. But I wasn't here. I've never been here and seen anything.

Any idea on FL? I'm at Holbeach range and there's only a high Typhoon in the area.
