I believe it was written elsewhere they're all hangared in the shed that used to contain the F-35s earlier this year.

Columbus day is not stopping the SJ s from departing, apparently its only the French that are stopping them currently.

Just wondering about the `Forward Deploy` reference..
Could somebody please advise me,as others have the finger on the pulse more than myself.
Does this mean the jets will dissapear for a period,or will they return to Lakenheath each day ?
I intend to make the trip on Thursday,as the weather looks OK.

Possibly a case of `go and take my chances`, like the old days before the internet..

Regards

In earlier instances, they left with or earlier than the first Raptor mission, took linch in Latvia/Romania, and returned late afternoon/early evening

Does anyone know when the SJ still at Bangor will arrive

[pjotrtje]

Errr didn't they arrive already on Saturday, leaving yeasterday?

[Nighthawke]

No - still five unaccounted for from the original scheduled 18.

[bizfreeq]

There are still 5 more Stateside to come over

[pjotrtje]

OK, didn't know that, but shouldn't we use another topic for this as no-one will think to look into an F-22/F-35 topic for SJ Eagles...

[Nighthawke]

I posted it for you!!!!!!

[Phoon]

I take it no movements from the F22s as yet today?

[slogen51]

The shelters are now open but no sign of any raptor action

[roughcutter]

Any more news regarding the F-35's, or is that shallot?

[slogen51]

Word on the fence at Lakenheath is for the remaining six raptors to arrive on Monday 16/10?

Time will out

[plmc135]

It would appear from posts in other sections that the reason the remaining six FF's have not returned is because the replacement TY's had not yet made it to Al Udeid. (Any similarity between that and the situation with the SJ's and LN's is purely co-incidental )

If GOLD 98 has finally got the TYs to the sandpit then there is a probability that the FF's will be on their way back soon.

[slogen51]

Bring back the Sluff !

l think you will find these FF are the 12 that went via moron 3wks ago to the gulf reg.

The 12 that went through Moron 3 weeks ago were TY machines. The FFs have been down range for several months.
