RAF Lakenheath

[gary1701]

Hi all,

Thought it was about time I put another selection together. Rather than go by type I figured with Lakenheath and Mildenhall it was probably better to go by location. So, to start the USAF off, here's a selection from Lakenheath, with both residents and visitors.

A couple of 493rd FS F-15C's from the familiar 24 approach, note both have the now standard AIM-9X on the rail.

494th FS F-15E with the just visible Sniper pod on the fuselage rather than LANTIRN.

More F-15E's straight down the approach.

September 2007 saw Swedish Gripens visit the 493rd FS.

Taken from the viewing carpark (normally against the light here), the 493rd FS flagship is rolling on 24.

The summer of 2007 also saw the 81st FS take up temporary residence as Spangdahlem was having it's runway resurfaced.

Other assorted visitors including last years quick stop by the Florida ANG and their F-15A/C's.
