Re: Lakenheath F-15 down
Via marinetraffic S92 SAR heli can be tracked. As well as two lifeboats.
S92 is SAR 111232516
Lifeboats are: RNLI Lifeboat 13 15 and 13 22
There might be more lifeboats on scene / joining as not everything is visible.
It looks like various offshore vessels are also heading for the crash site / support in the search. Edda Mistral even gives "SAR support" as destination in AIS.

Aviation In Action was streaming live from Lakenheath this morning, if I'm not mistaken the fourth F-15C 86-0176/LN of the second 493FS flight does not return to base.

Source? It seems that (ads-b) a KC-10 and a MC-130 are orbiting the area.
