does anyone know when there going to conus and if they visit LN again?
meanwhile thanks.

Today last 2 Eagles flew over Holland enroute what I believe was Kecskemet but that could be wrong off course as Bulgaria was several times mentioned in various topics.

However while working Maastricht they told the Controller they would stay untill around 29th June. Which means we can expect them back around that time.

Updating/correcting the earlier post,it is now known the 2 F-15s departing today were,

76-0113 F-15A Huron 75
78-0536 F-15C Huron 76

Time will tell if these jets will return via Lakenheath on their return to the States later this month.

Hello

Sunday a HC-130 from Patrick AFB leave Fairford to Lakenheath.
on Monday they will fly a mission to refuel some HH-60 from Lakenheath and after that they will depart to St John for a nightstop.
So catch them

The FT coded HC-130 at Mildenhall has departed 16th in the morning.

Also on the radio when we where at Cottesmore on 15th was Trend01/06 flight outbound LN, support was Cacti81/82 outbound the Hall. Can someone confirm 6 eagles departed to Nellis ?

George

p.s. last days LN was busy with hot pit exercise's. only 10 E's flying the whole day long !!

Hi,

If I'm correct then 1 flight was outbound (but this was for rework) and 1 flight was inbound earlier this week. No c/s or numbers though.
