Yes, it is that time again when F-15Es change units in the sandpit.
Mountain Home's 391FS is due to go out (according to FC) and the Lakenheath 492FS is due to come back. A C-17 from Mountain Home passed through Lakenheath a couple of days ago.
It is thought that 2 cells of 6 will arrive at Lakenheath on Friday 2nd October 2020 and depart a few days later (possibly Monday?). The other 6 arriving on the Saturday possibly.
Obviously the weather and sea state will play a part in when they actually come over.
So, watch out for the NOTAM thread.....
Credit FC. |

Thanks Bob.
Need 3 of these and a KC-10 so will keep an eye on the next batch of inbounds! Maybe an early trip on Monday morning will be required!

233, 242, 246 and 249 for me.
Are they still due out Monday do you know Bob? If so, any idea on time?
Also, are there still LN F-15s at Mildenhall? My last one (00-3001) was there...
Many Thanks
Phil

Now down to two required from each of the two squadrons - or will be when I've seen these four.
The F-15s at the 'Hall have all now returned to the 'Heath ('3001 on Thursday).
As to what departure time on Monday, I'm hoping it won't be earlier than 08.30 - don't really fancy leaving before 05.00 (not at my age!!).

Ok thanks Bob.
Shame about 3001. Would have been much easier to see if at Mildenhall !
