RAF Lakenheath 23/07/10

FINALLY !!!!

After several trips to see the F-22's I finally got lucky with two sorties in a day.

Of the 4 that made the trip to Lakenheath one seems to have been grounded for much of the deployment and so I only managed to photograph 3 of the 4.

Whatever these guys were doing it was pretty local as both sorties were not very long probably a maximum of 1 hour.

Sadly the sun didn't play ball but at least it wasn't raining.

The aircraft involved were:-

06-4108/AK F-22A 525th FS

06-4113/3rd OG F-22A 525th FS

06-4126/AK F-22A 525th FS

07-4131/AK F-22A 525th FS

525th are no strangers to Europe having previously been based at Bitburg flying the F-15. These latest beasts are somewhat different however !
