No Tail Letters on 493rd Jets

Post by grisr7 » Wed Jan 26, 2022 8:55 am

I'm sure this has been asked somewhere on here but I cant find the answer, does anyone know why some of the 493rd jets are not painted with the LN tail codes?

Thanks in advance

Thought it was because they are leaving Lakenheath very soon and being allocated to other units in the US, so the old LN codes have been removed.

You are more likely correct, i was assuming they had been repainted. Any idea when they are due to start leaving?

Thanks for the response

Some, three I think have already gone!

People are saying February but Putin might have a say in that!
