so apparently there were a few people at Lakenheath yesterday for the AK F-22s arriving!
i spent most of the day trying to talk myself out of the idea of going, mainly as i had to be in Newport (South Wales) at 01:15 for my first job!
the idea of going and potentially missing them and having to go early was really putting me off but the overriding feeling that they could arrive in the incredible light that they did finally persuaded me to drive across! the gamble definitely paid off!!

Very nice! Worth the trip even if you had an early start later.

Everyone please remind yourself of the FC Rules in particular Rule 20

Would new members please post something relevant to military aviation before congratulating people for taking photos

Military aviation news, sightings radio logs etc are all good
