Lakenheath 2021

Post by David Cunningham » Mon Feb 06, 2023 9:19 pm

A friend has asked me the following questions that i cannot answer since FC has deleted the messages. Seen over east London on
31/3/21 Tabor flight of F-15s being towed by KC-135 61-0292. I guess this was Tabor 91-96. What fighters serials were involved? Seen at 09.45.

10/5/21 I think this was a Tabor flight of VT F-35s. What fighter serials were involved. Seen at 19-15.

27/5/21 Tabor flight 51-56 or 61-66 being towed by KC-135 59-1513. What fighter serials were involved? Seen at 10.55.
