Should be, only jets away now are the NATO policing ones and the ones that are at rework.

Therefore;

=74 fast jets on base as at 18:35 on 10/06/2024 (37 F-15E, 37 F-35A)

[slogen51]

I noted 20-5613 on 20/6 so I assume both the Norwegian jets are back in the crypt?

[slogen51]

15/07/2024 things get a bit confusing now.. two F-15QA as before but different ones

Add Retro 61/62 arrived from Mildenhall
QA535 ex 17-039 assumed
QA537 ex 17-041 assumed

Less Boeing 62E and Boeing 64E departed to Farnborough
QA538 ex 17-042 assumed
QA536 ex 17-040 assumed

=80 fast jets on base as at 20:00 on 15/07/2024 (41 F-15E, 37 F-35A, 2 F-15QA [QA535 and QA537])

[slogen51]

18/7 Boeing 64E departed to Farnborough - reported as QA535 on FC- thanks

That should mean that only QA537 remains at Lakenheath

=79 fast jets on base as at 20:00 on 18/07/2024 (41 F-15E, 37 F-35A, 1 F-15QA [QA537])

Forgot to subtract the four air show jets : Three? at RIAT ( 2 F-15E and 1 F-35) and the single F-35A at Farnborough

=75 fast jets on base as at 20:00 on 19/07/2024 (39 F-15E, 35 F-35A, 1 F-15QA [QA537])

[AlexanderClover]

26/7

All QAs back at LN after a two week airshow tour. The Farnborough F35 is back also and the jets from RIAT returned Monday.

Add Hammer 22 (89-2137) which has gone tech after a fuel divert.

Therefore:

=83 fast jets on base as at 19:20 on 26/07/2024 (41 F-15E, 37 F-35A, 4 F-15QA, 1 F-16C)

[AlexanderClover]

All Four F-15QAs departed today to London Stansted for the handover ceremony in the Harrods hangar to Qatar.

Therefore:

=79 fast jets on base as at 18:20 on 31/07/2024 (41 F-15E, 37 F-35A, 1 F-16C)

[100arw]

I bet a potential enemy would send you a big thank you :-)

[Nighthawke]

20 pages and now you comment? Strange. If you are really concerned about miltary reports why are on here?
Just asking.

[AlexanderClover]

Monday 05th August:

Add 2 Qatari F-15QAs that returned back to Lakenheath from London Stansted.

QA537
QA536

Therefore;

=81 fast jets on base as at 16:22 on 05/08/2024 (41 F-15E, 37 F-35A, 1 F-16C, 2 F-15QA)

[100arw]

If you are really concerned about miltary reports why are on here?
Just asking.

There are reports and reports.

Mind you, its strange the forum does not allow TADS. But an exact report of what resources are on an active base is OK to some. I am not sure it would be to a base Intel Department.

Just saying.

It’s probably been mentioned but I can’t find it. Is the F-16C and the two F-15QA’s visible, if so where is the best point to see them?
