Did the first F-15E arrive straight into Lakenheath or did it go elsewhere first?

I'm here at Carswell right now. Blue 81 is being fueled as I type. I expect a seven-isg departure this evening direct EGUL. I'm sticking around for the departures so will update later.

Excellent thank you

I was just about to say 91495 is still on the ground at Carswell according to adsb-nl

The eastbound ALTRV has quite an early start time (09:33) compared to the usual coronet bookings

As you have 'eyes on ' it would be neat if you could at some point create a [Blue 81 - 495FS batch 1 ] or whatever you think is appropriate in the UK heads up section

It's getting quite exciting - what is the time in Dallas - 5 hours behind?

Almost tempted to stay up!

Say they are at 30W by 10:00z that would mean what? a 02:00z departure from Dallas?

6 behind. I've created a thread in UK Heads Up, may be worth locking this?
