Fingers crossed its Lakenheath this time....

Not so easy to see them when they're on the continent!

Initially perhaps LN, But expect deployment packages to go to Europe for short term visits as a "projection of airpower" i.e Poland, Romania and probably Baltic States.

Could be Tanagra or Nea Anchialos in Greece, it's been on the cards for a while.

The U.S DoD FY 2019 Construction Budget has monies allocated to Spangdahlem for 'F22 hardened hangar mods'.

Are they not coming for Trident Juncture?

I was reminded earlier that the last time the USAF publicly announced F-22 to Europe that they turned up shortly afterwards.

Must be a strong rumour, I've read it twice...

Could be two separate rumours about two individual aircraft!

if its F-18 the carrier docks on Saturday

[plmc135]

There are no USMC F-18's on board the Truman

Isn't that for the 18 x MO F-15Es that are due to transit?

[slogen51]

Lots of rumours about F-22 to Lakenheath Friday and even hornets to Lakenheath this afternoon around 17:30?

I've heard that the Raptors are due at Lakenheath tomorrow too, but read on various places the hornets tonight are heading to Mildenhall

[tornado17]

F22's to Lakenheath, FA18's to Mildenhall, MO F15's to Lakenheath and the carrier at Portsmouth, if it all turns out to be correct, there is going to be some serious mileage covered by some people!!

Don't forget the rumoured CA eagles !
