Hi there
It was about 4 o’clock after most of the cars left the car park.
Thanks

It's best not to trust F-15 serials that show on tracking sites. ;)

Thanks Les.
I need 174.
I'll try to eyeball it when I get chance.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the reminder not to trust serials on tracking sites as I've been caught that way before. I posted my update in order to get an eyeball confirmation on the ground.

Are they likely to stay on the cross runway or move to the HAS area?

Can't get up there until Wednesday. Do we know the flying times so I get my visit right?

Cheers,

Les

Probably get a rough idea when they go up tomorrow I would think.

Reapers are normally up early from LN as well.

They are all parked out in the open on the 03/21 runway
And viewable from the viewing area (if it’s open on a Saturday)
If they’re staying for a second week might they be towed into the HAS over the weekend?

I definitely know of four ( bullet 1-4) that have returned to Lakenheath and I think it was reported that the two what went to Marham then carried on to Lakenheath 84-0010+ one other
