The Lithuanian Air Force Visit Lakenheath- 28/12/13.

Post by billydog » Sat Dec 28, 2013 3:58 pm

The Lithuanian Air Force made a brief visit to Lakenheath on Friday with one of their C-27J's. Kicked myself for missing it, but got a second chance when he came in for another quick gas 'n' go today. :D

Cheers Unc. :thumb: You should know that if there's something tasty arriving at one of the locals, i'll be out there somewhere! Tried to catch the C27 arrival and the RC departure, but the timings didn't quite work out. :'(

The 493rd FS are deploying over to Lithuania soon, so the C27 has been in/out ferrying equipment over in preperation for that.
