I'm going up to Mildenhall for three days to feast my eyes on some F-15Es from Mountain Home AB, ID.
Regrettably, I shall not be able to provide any commentary on the days' movements.
I will be back online in the evenings and will provide trip, and any other, info as I can.
Will return home Sunday evening.
In the meantime, please feel free to note your sightings - either visual or virtual - in daily threads.
Happy spotting, guys.

Hi Bob
Enjoy your eagle-hunting!
One thread on FC suggests that there will be another batch arriving today, and another Saturday, all spending 48hours on the deck.
If true, that would mean they would all be there on Saturday morning and so be worth a visit (before Middle Wallop!)
If, when you get chance, you're able to confirm this and offer any advice for times of arrivals, departures or viewing possibilities for any that are parked up, that would be massively appreciated.
Many thanks in advance
Phil

Just a quick word of thanks to Jerry and Bob for their contributions.
Many thanks, chaps. 
To everyone, please feel free to post in the daily thread. It is NOT solely my preserve. It is there for everybody to contribute. I can, and do, miss things and there are items that I just don't bother with (e.g helicopters, fighters and RAF transports on UK flights) because I cannot keep track of everything. I'd need about 4 pairs of eyes and 4 pairs of hands (and keyboards) and 4 instances of AFA running - all at the same time.
Cheers - and may your military (s)pots be plentiful.
Bob (the one in Wiltshire) |
