Read through the rules, you need to increase your post count (but don't make random spam comments on photos)

[Nighthawke]

Have at least 10 posts under you belt. Useful, informative but not "nice pics" type posts. More info in forum rules especially number 20.

Sorry James, had this open and sent before I saw your reply.

[Nighthawke]

Also don't post the same question in two different places - also in the rules.

[James Cutting]

No worries Nighthawke

I think your original post (Madmannz375) was merged into this thread as there had been multiple but not your fault.

[Nighthawke]

Nope - also here:

Aha! I’m due an eye test to be fair

Many thanks to all that have taken the time to share whatever intel/conjecture there is in reply to my question. I'm taking the view that now they're flying sorties hopefully it means giving crews local familiarity training so they'll be around for a week or two. I'm 90 mins away so will go one day next week, as for various reasons I've missed recent arrivals departures.

Lucky you - I'm six hours away and drew a blank on Monday. Will be back next week for sure!

Not according to the participant list on scramble. Although I don’t know how accurate that is.

Thanks, yeah I just checked that too.

Just double checked against the CAA document. No F22 listed on that either.

Does anyone here the Comms from the f22s last week, SPEED flight? Was there issues when entering the machloop or was it planned to do that route and not the full loop.

They were planned to do the whole loop but didn't have the fuel to do it. The original plan was LFA17 so they only had the fuel for that. But when that was weathered out they tried LFA 7 but then realised they wouldn't have enough to do the whole loop.

Right ok, I was up the lakes that day, shame as the weather there was fine. Im surprised they didnt have the fuel tbf as they apparently changed plans early morning so thought they would of planned to have the correct fuel.

Are the f22's visible from outside the base? Have never been to Lakenheath before and travelling from Belgium next week.
