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.

Question: 2 clean F-15 arr Lakenheath 30.03.2010...

Post by USAFE »

Hi all,

a local guy told us, that nothing departed this afternoon, so it´s a waste of time to wait in the approach.
Some 30 minutes later a 2-ship formation arrived. Both had travelpods under the wings and no squadron markings on their fin. On a 100% view, I can see, that all 4 aircrew have the 4th FW patch, which is Seymour Johnson AFB, NC, on.
So where have they been to? Ferry from the US?

Any comments would be more than welcome.

Cheers,
Johnny

Probably back from maintenance in the US, hence the new paint job.
Answers will be questioned.....

91-0316 was noted at Mildenhall on the 27th July in full 492nd FS markings and 00-3000 was on strength with the 494th recently. They could be getting ready to head west for servicing.

The badges on the intakes confirm their squadron allocation as per Dinger's post.
