CA ANG F-15's

Post by glencoe » Wed Oct 24, 2018 1:37 pm

Suspect two more CA ANG F-15's arrived earlier at Lakenheath as SHARK 31+32 (around 1235)

Anyone at Lakenheath able to confirm please

I also heard Deuce this morning ( which is what the twin stick used a couple of weeks ago when outbound) but that pair went into the 323 complex.

The first post says two more, are there a total of three, or is there an earlier post which I have missed?

So were the other two, after allowing for the 1st one to read 96-0202 (which it was).

The missing two CA birds are 80-0010 and 86-0144 "144FW".

Afternoon all
Can someone please advise whether the CA ANG f-15's are still at The Heath?
If they are still present does anyone have any departure info?
I know it is said that it is better to travel hopefully than to arrive but personally I would rather travel & know that a decent set of photos are there for the taking!!
Regards
Alan S

I thought USA based ones came over to take things back. That’s what happened when the Raptors went home. Entirely possible that the 100th could be involved I suppose.
