Have seen photos of burners being used this Thursday pm but that's the first use I'm aware of since arrival.

This video of the departure from Langley to the UK has been quoted on here before, but does show the burners and vectored thrust during take off. At night though.
But they would have the external tanks fitted, not full at that point?

F22's leaving this week do we know? Making a trip up to Lakenheath on the 19th, so I'm assuming they'll be long gone by then?
