Are they here for a Exercise(NATO) or just to work with the 48th?

[Tiger 1]

Could this deployment use Holbeach Range during
their stay?

The press release on the official Lakenheath website doesn't mention a particular exercise just 'interoperability' with other USAF units and NATO partners etc.

I'll be there Monday. Fingers crossed they fly.

This morning some of the F16's were at Cornfield range in the Netherlands together with some F15E's.
Callsigns heard: Buzzard (F16), Venom (F16) and Hammer (F15E)

What's the crowd situation like at LN - has half the World and his wife & kids rolled up there yet? I'm planning a run out there on Thursday.

You should have a good time as flying has been what I would describe as "intense" this week and last week. I've not seen a single F-16 yet and I can see them taking off on rwy 24 from my window. All been twin tail fin F-15's when I've been looking. Wind turning from SE on Thurs, so may be using 06 instead. I predict this activity will last at least until Friday afternoon.
