Have you got a link to this information as I have not seen anything posted regards no flying on these days on facebook or twitter?
I can imagine if it’s business as usual tomorrow it would be very busy at spotters corner so it might be some folk wanting to keep the numbers down so they can get in there and have it all to themselves...

As at 22.00BST, there is no such relevant NOTAM for Lakenheath - or Mildenhall for that matter.

I can’t see why they wouldn’t fly the next couple of days. Tomorrow may be a classroom day for the Raptor guys but they usually get going straight away. They’ll be wanting to do some sightseeing...

if spare crews flew in earlier surely they will want to get up as soon as the aircraft are sorted.

The two Aviano F16's from the Buzzards landed at 09:00 L, definitely open but no further activity at 10:00.

Maybe the rumour for no flying was just for the F22s?
