Mildenhall and Lakenheath 03/04/17

A flying visit to see the 5 Saudi F.15s at Lakenheath.

Many thanks to Bob (RH226) for tying up a few loose ends... any ideas if the Herc by the tower is still 64-14862? thanks!

Great to see the RSAF machines.

Got my hopes up with the USAF 01-2000, 01-2001 thinking they were 2 of my last 4 based! But no, I need 4 of the 00-3xxx block...

Can confirm the Herc by the tower is correct, it's still broken!

Excellent, thanks Mark. Another one made!

[rh226]

Obviously just a typo:-

63-8878 should read (the based) 63-8871.

63-8878 (22ARW) has been down-range since 9th February.

Thanks Bob

Scribbled down wrongly in a hurry as 38878 /D, next to 80118. Got carried away with too many 8s!
