Eagles were in Balkan Area to fly CAP missions in relation to visit of G. Bush over there.

They returned today at Lakenheath.
Although there were only 6 away, it could explain why they did not show up.

EDIT, just saw a log that 4 eagles did fly against FWIT players today but returned to Lakenheath

Reason: They build a hugh tent on the platform, and along the taxitrack for the open days, so Eagles could not pass between.
So this will mean, that after the open days the F-15's can pass and will do a fuel/lunch stop?or was it just temporary because of the building today?
Assume makes an ASS of U and ME.

Eagles were originally scheduled untill the 18th of june, so after the open days definitely no Eagles anymore.
In July we will have some Hawks and Typhoons.
