As I suspected an airtest for 131 that hasn't flown since it's arrival 2 weeks ago.

Nothing else arrived today so far ?

Naa.All quite on the Lakenheath front.

They won't depart for home using "Raptor" call-signs anyway, it will likely be a "Mazda" call-sign as per their arrival.

Early start on a sunday for all concerned just for an airtest.

Lovely alarm clock noise at my location though as they departed and recovered back LN. Shame it was so cloudy.

All 4 Raptors seen outside at 10.00 this morning

[Ben Montgomery]

That was GOLD01, 63-7979, a local KC-135R returning from somewhere. Not sure if it to do with the Raptors or not. I saw another GOLD (58-0016?) over Germany yesterday.

Serials should read 07-4131 & 06-4113

07-4131 flew briefly on Tuesday 13th departing zero-six.

Rumours around viewing area this morning were that the Raptors are departing 11 ish in the morning!

[Chef_uk]

Is tomorrow confirmed or just looking likely? Never been down to Lakenheath or Mildenhall so wouldn't mind making a day of it. Just need to check out the locations on T&L's site providing they are current spotting locations? and then add the codes to my scanner
