F-15E Eagles over Suffolk 18 August 22

Post by Vulcan44 » Thu Aug 18, 2022 3:48 pm

Hi,

6 x F-15E Eagles in formation flew over me in Ipswich today at 15:00 local. One F-15E, 91-0602 "DARK 21", showed up on Flightradar and this appeared to be going into Lakenheath. Can anyone confirm this was one of the 6 and possibly identify the others.

Thanks & regards

Thanks POL for your reply.

However your link doesn't get me any nearer identifying my sightings unless I am missing something. Unfortunately I don't have any other tracker that might have helped.

Regards

Should that be 01-2003?
