Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

RAF Lakenheath Eagles

Post by CR-74050 »

In 2014 we visited RAF Lakenheath to visit the 493rd Fighter Squadron 'Grim Reapers', with their F-15Cs. Here is an impression of our visit, that also resulted in shooting some F-15E Strike Eagles.

Nice to see your pictures Dick. Is that F-15E 98-0134 on nr 6? Nice to see it without the conformal fuel tanks.
