Did the final 2 F18's depart??
I have not seen a post about the last 2 Hornets at Lakenheath. Can I assume that they are still there? If they want to leave it until Sunday to depart again I would be delighted.

No ALTRV has been posted so far, it would suggest a few more days before they depart

As I understand the situation Tim, they plan to fly out 30 minutes before I arrive, whichever day etc., etc!Tim Holden wrote:I have not seen a post about the last 2 Hornets at Lakenheath.
