presumably the F18's are off the carrier to sit in the hall as it's closed 5th to 10th then return to the carrier once the VIP's have finished visiting etc

I've not seen these links posted under the various threads covering visiting aircraft to Lakenheath at present, so, as this is deployment related I plumped for this one. Feel free to move, otherwise maybe of interest....

This is apparently a working visit for the carrier so the usual VIP engagement is presumably not taking place. The C-2 going to Norway earlier this week may be an indication that the ship will be heading to play in Ex Trident Juncture next and so will sail back into the North Sea rather than head back to the Med. Time will tell.
