U.S.AIRFORCE LAKENHEATH

French Airforce Rafale's

[@Aardvark892]

I was at RAF Lakenheath from 1989-1991. Crew Chief on the F-111F. Thank you for posting this video, brings back great memories!

[@stevehughes5390]

Fantastic video, I so look forward to these films, since my brother passed away I don't get to plane spot anymore, we used to go to Lakenheath. These films puts me right back there, we saw the first F15's arrive after the magnificent F1-11's.

[@jamescraft7509]

I was at RAF Upper Heyford from 1980 to 1983 a few miles down the road from Lakenheath we had the "E" model 111's. One of the best times of my military career.

[@leledacuca60]

great quality video .and to the people love aircraft is a big ,big fun ,thanks David

[@Military872]

Thanks Alvaro,

[@1chish]

I think that RAF F-35B is the first to visit Lakenheath. The F-35s from the US that visited earlier this year were 'A' versions of the USAF. The French were working with the RAF and USAF on exercise 'Point Blank' which is normally just RAF / USAF. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpvEfnp7j614lac

[@williamjohnson7699]

Nice to see dave where on earth did these 15s taxi from never seen them taxi up that taxiway before just cross the runway and hold in that bay area shame I couldn't get up there

[@Military872]

Thanks, they taxied up from rwy 06

[@JoeJohn777]

very short take off for the Rafales!

[@bountyhunter_5150]

I'm no expert at all but does the Strike eagle at 6min13 have a afterburner problem or something. The flame looks a bit different i can be wrong ofcourse. I love this airplane btw but the F111 is for me the nr 1. Great video and thx for sharing!

[@markmark711]

Nice Video David could hear loads of Jets over Norwich but everytime llately i hear them there is to much cloud cover

[@adamleewicks8529]

I agree I live in Norwich , the Rafaels flew over Norwich that day but to high to see them

[@adamleewicks8529]

How great is this video thanks for sharing , how did you get night vision and what camera do you use for night vision as always wanted camera could do that any help appreciated it would help me to get new camera

[@Military872]

Thanks, I use a Canon XA20, it has night vision/infra red capability.

[@adamleewicks8529]

[@simonsupersi2225]

[@Military872]

Runway 24, No Ladders , although you can bring them , if you want to .

[@LIKWID]

Epic video and fantastic footage but cringeworthy banter in the background lol

[@GasparCortez13]

Man how did you get that night vision with the light sky in background.

[@Military872]

I was experimenting turning the Night vision on during the day.

[@GasparCortez13]

@@Military872 got yah. It looked good. I was wondering how you did that. I have been recording at night and have not been able to do that unless it was in post.

[@hudsondonnell444]

That's a RAF F-35.

[@Military872]

From Marham, yes.

[@mikes7446]

Are only F-15’s stationed at this base?

[@Military872]

Yes, but in 2/3 years there will be F-35A's too.

[@mikes7446]

Nice, thanks for letting me know. I enjoy watching these videos and just seeing all the different jets.

[@martinjh999]

Nice vid - Surprised the USAF lets people take vids to be fair...

[@Military872]

Thanks, the Americans know it's a big hobby in the U.K and are fine with it.

[@martinjh999]

I guessed that, just surprised that's all. Looked at Google Maps, didn't realise there was a whole viewing area. There is a good viewing area at Manchester Airport although that's civilian...
