The whole point of this short trip was to see the RSAF F-15SA delivery and, if I was lucky, the 2x "TX" F-16Cs and the "SJ" F-15E.

Morning Bob,
How long do you think the Saudi F15’s will be here?
Would love to pop up today to see them...

Good morning to you, Bill. There should be no problem for today.
They are rumoured to be departing Thursday, but could be tomorrow (Wednesday). They leave at a fairly silly o'clock when they do go.

Hi Bob,
Quick question, are the 4 Kc-135’s parked over by the terminal ramp the four on your list from yesterday?
I saw the RC- arrive about 13.40 ish... Managed to see the Saudi’s and the ‘SJ’ over at Lakenheath...
Appreciate your updates mate.
Bill

Lakenheath Finally discovered that the "SJ" was on Alpha ramp (along with the Saudis), so went up the back onto "the Warren" to see it - rather than a long hack down the main road.
