Hi All

Can I say a big thank you to you all for all the posts on the SJs,I came up yesterday from Hampshire, despite the weather it was a good day for me, it was nice to meet so many friendly people, now that I am semi retired, I can get to Lakenheath, mildenhall a lot more. Looking forward to more action at the heath in the near future. :thumb:

A post on Scramble suggests Tabor31/32, the last two SJ F15E's had been planned to fly LGSA/ Souda to LIPA/ Aviano departing LGSA at 07.00Z this morning.
Next stop for today was Lakenheath. I have no idea if they allread left LGSA at all.
Pieter,

Clean 71 looking to go at 10:40Z

Sounds like the tabors will not need to use the end of runway arming area.

11:38 add a 15 minute delay for a spare eagle to arm

Tabor 31-32 just departed Aviano, the last two SJ's
