RAF Lakenheath, 15-07-2009

[Redskin301]

Hi all,

After a succesfull serie of the Salisbury Plain, i like to publish another great day during
my UK trip. On July 15 RAF Lakenheath was on my program. At this great base was a
big exersize going on, because of that we had non stop action from 08.00 till 22.00LT.
After the 25 different Eagle i decided to stop counting them xD A very nice day at this
great base. Specially the shots after 17.00 are nice because of the perfect position of
the sun ^^ Hope you all like my shots =]

Hi,

Great pictures from the best base around!!!!

Did you had a stepleader with you?Because the angle`s from your picpoints are unusual!

In my experience when every squadron is at home this non-stop flying is just normal ops not even an exercise. 30+ birds is no exception. You can say whatever you want about those yanks, but they do pull more sorties than a typical other NATO base in Western Europe And LN is just a 6 hour drive, I am wondering why I don't go there more often..

Nice pics, thanks for sharing!

Koos and Hans, some nice pics of this great base ^^

Here a few more from my side xD this time some different
angles on the great Eagle and some late evening recovery =]
ISO values became higher and higher because of sunset in
the eve at 21.30LT, but I love the light which was on the
incoming Strikers! Hope you guys do also =]

As usual excellent images Alex! Very well done, you always manage shots that somehow present something different, sharp, colourful and nice angles.
The best of these and a small article please, you know where to send it...
