Cheers LN Strike Eagle.
Good article, and interesting times to come by the looks of it.

Is there an Estimated arrival of the Reapers F35s? I know their boss bird is on it's way, but what's that going to do after it arrives. Are the 495th going to use it, until they finish getting up to strength and the 493rd return, then they can have a slightly used aircraft back. Or is it going to si...

14x F-15C/D still left with the 493rd, with three of those to depart in the next day or two (and one still out at Łask?).

Cheers for that LN Strike Eagle. Still plenty to hopefully see before they go then.

With three meant to have gone today but cancelled, how many would be left until the sad day of all gone?

The LN Sqns have been at the September Air Show at Duxford for the last couple of years. From memory located at the front of the American Air Museum.
That's not to say they will be there this though

So across the way from the 100th's tankers the SOG had examples of Nose Art too. Again all taken by me at Mildenhall Air Show, of the mildenhall based aircraft. Feel free to add. example of the 7th SOS MC-130 taken in 2001. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4604/39564748642_491e576f08_b.jpg Merlin's Ma...

Great Add on Gents. Thanks for the replies. I knew the 100th had had a few in the past!

Michael, the 100th must have had another KC called Nightmare, as it was called 'Another Nightmare'.

Keep them all coming.

With the 100th ARW now applying nose art to its aircraft, it made me think of the examples that we have had in the past within the wing. Looking through my photos from airshows past I have managed to scan these. These were all taken by me, and all taken at Mildenhalls legendary airshow, unless other...

Afternoon gents, Not sure if this has been discussed before, but just seen this on Scramble, http://forum.scramble.nl/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=93369" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Suggests that the Saudi's are coming over in September and wondered if anything else was know or is this a b...

Cheers for that Reptile 1.
I had heard of all the 'C' eagles taking the loop but hadn't seen any shots.

Loving Shot number 2 & 5.

Did anyone get any shots of Tuesdays eagle fest, as I haven't seen any anywhere.

Phil

Thanks Reptile 1 for clearing that up. I will come to the hills after all.

Excuse my ignorence, but does this mean that there will be no really low flying in the whole of wales until Septmeber, for instance the loop.
I have never been to the loop but was thinking of giving it a go this year.

Hi Guy's,

So have they been flying as usual today or does it look like another night flying week.

Only ask as I was thinking of cming up tomorrow, but its a bit of a trek from Suffolk and didn't want to waste my time if they aren't flying.

Thanks in advance

Phil

Thanks very much for the update Reptile, much appreciated

Phil

Being only a couple of weeks away, is it known if this detachment is still happening?

Phil

Any idear when they are leaving?

Nice set of pics you have there mate. Glad the eagle and KC shot did come out after all.
Glad to meet up with you again

Phil

Lucky oh fudge. E-8's are not seen around here very much.
Well done for braving the weather. At least it would have given the BM a clean...

At last the weeks of gloom lifted and the sun came out over suffolk, all be it hazy sun, which made things a little tricky. But still what more could I ask for for my first trip out of the year. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2685/4309153812_b2eaa2da74_o.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2776/43091...
