Would anyone be kind enough to post/repost where these are parked when not flying, please?

Sorry to ask possibly stupid questions. Where can I park my car prior to walking down to the F-16's ramp? Is it a safe place to leave the car (I do not want to annoy an angry farmer!).
Do I walk along the road or through the adjacent field(s)? Any benefit from looking across from the warren?
Thanks

I certainly plan to use the Warren tomorrow morning. Probably best after the morning launch has departed that way your not looking for so many
Alternatively use the small track on the right opposite the base golf course park the car on the right 50 meters in and climb fence into adjoining field but from there its a long walk down to where the F-16s are parked. good luck

Quick question.

How many F-15's are at Lakenheath at the moment? Or maybe an easier question, how many are on deployment/away from base?

Thank you.

492FS and 494FS away with most of their aircraft. There are a few F-15E still operating. 493FS are at home with SP F-16s

Is there any chance of the serials/ callsign tie-ups being posted please.
Looked through threads and not a serial in sight. I may not have looked hard enough apologies if Ive missed them.

Much obliged, cheers
