Movements at Lakenheath 1.5.19

Post by PSYCHO » Wed May 01, 2019 6:36 am

2 x 747s and a 757 are in and out of Lakenheath this morning - this would suggest equipment and personnel movements ahead of an anticipated deployment mentioned elsewhere. Theres also a KC135 en-route McDill - Mildenhall which may or may not be co-incidental. But these are just my own assumptions of course.

Yesterday, 494FS equipment and cargo was taken round the north side. So it appears the 494th are going somewhere!

They will be out there a very long time, then. Red Flag 19-3 doesn't start until 15th July.

More nonsense from FR24 I'm afraid.

The Atlas and National B744s were both bound for KPAM = Tyndall AFB
