Re: Possible SP F16's to Lakenheath
Would anyone be kind enough to post/repost where these are parked when not flying, please?

Re: Possible SP F16's to Lakenheath
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

Re: Possible SP F16's to Lakenheath
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.

Re: Possible SP F16's to Lakenheath
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
