Peed off

Post by owensy » Thu May 04, 2017 7:38 pm

Having booked a family stay at Center Parcs at Elevden Forest, I was happy when I saw the F35s and that they would be at Lakenheath for a month. I go on Monday and the F35 have broken off home! It would have been a bonus but when I was last at the same Center Parcs in February 2016, Lakenheath was on limited ops and did not see much at all.
The only luck I have is bad :(

If that's the only bad luck you get, you're lucky!!

Sorry to hear that, keep an eye out for based F-15 movements though, may catch some stuff from the Hall as well, you never know!

I know am biased, but you should have gone there early doors today :whistle:

2x C17 take offs, 1x C5 landing, and 11 Reapers taking off with 4 (yes 4) unrestricted climb-outs :Wow:

All before 1000 ;)

Then, whilst on our base tour, we got 2 more unrestricted climb-outs :Wow:

Happy days :Wow:

Thanks guys. Looks like an increase of F15s at Lakenheath will be great, plus anything else that turns up.
Ill have to remember it is supposed to be a "family holiday" though ;-)
