RAF Mildenhall to close. Lakenheath to get F-35 by 2020

Page verify,

I can tell you that Mildenhall has a very healthy design program in progress at the moment. The EIC put us back 5 years so we have a gap in projects, which is to be expected. However, planning is being done at a very fast pace to allow us to put our projects into the DoD budget. You should start to see Mildenhall projects from about FY24 onwards.

That all sounds very positive and I would guess that you have 'inside information' from the authorititative way in which you put it! Thanks.

Yes, most certainly.

Two F35 squadrons eventually!

Was scrolling through Instagram just now and found a set of pics of 19-5474 with blue skies, the first shots I’ve seen of an LN lightning flying. Bring em on!

Mods
Isn't it time to close this thread or at least modify it to show the Lakenheath part of it alone?

[STN RAMP RAT]

That seems a reasonable request as there is an F35 thread running in the Lakenheath section.
