OK F-16

Post by luke28 » Tue Apr 26, 2022 9:49 am

Sorry to be the guy that asks 'that' question but is this visible from anywhere?

Im coming over tomorrow to hopefully catch it departing if all goes to plan with the various Retro's coming East and going West but was just wondering if its viewable from anywhere else just incase theres another slip. :thumbs:

Thanks to directions from nearbyegym I was able to see this from the A1065 on Sunday. Just passed the big mud piles.

Thanks so much!

Edit. Great info about the dirt piles as originally i walked quite far past them over the base side of the road and couldn't see anything, but on the way back I stopped by the 2nd dirt pile and crossed over the road and managed to catch it :thumbs:

Hi Derek,

On the A1065 there is an opening for Warren Lodge with enough room for a couple of cars, its about a 5 minute walk from there.

The F16 can be seen from the Warren. Walk along the fence heading west to the closet point on the hill to the Control Tower. Looking at the gap between the Tower and the tall white screen, It is on the ramp near the F35 shelter. Only the tail can be seen including showing red band and OK.
