Probably just a typo and it wasn't picked up as they were in too much of a hurry to get the information out. Bit slack, what?!?! :whistle:

Hi I only watched them turn right off 06 so I guess they are parked opposite the A1065 where the F-22s were earlier this year?

Apparently going tomorrow

I'm searching online (without much luck) for a picture of one of the F-15s that arrived. Are they in the same colour scheme as the usual LN F-15Cs?

Cheers,

Paul
Warm Regards,

They are a bit boring - no markings. I think the scheme is called " mod eagle" like a PACAF eagle.
