Hi,

Apologies for the newbie question (it's been about 20 years since I last went spotting at Lakenheath in my teens!), but when they're on night ops does that mean no flying during the day, or do the normal daytime ops continue?

Cheers

Damien

The media page on Facebook says that it's only the C's of the 493rd that are on night sorties, so I'm guessing there will also be daytime sorties?....I'm also planning a visit next week!

I hear normal flying from Tuesday playing with the F16 and some evening flying in the mix.

Enjoy guys
