F35 fly’s out of Mildenhall too? Thought it was Lakenheath only. Busy day at the base. Wonder who was the VIP on that 737….

These F35s are not based at Mildenhall, they were just stopping over on transit from Jordan back home to Hill air base. Occasionally you get jets on transit through Mildenhall which could be any in the USAF.

only just realized that Mildenhall and Lakenheath are so close! which is the more active?

[@Mildenhall_Planespotter]

Lakenheath has F15s/F35s flying on weekdays 08:00 to 15:00 and is guaranteed to have plenty of jets in those hours however, rarely do other planes visit. Mildenhall has a larger variety of different aircraft but is more hit and miss, generally it’s less busy but if you get the right day you can see lots of aircraft. There is flying at all times of day at Mildenhall (I have some videos for when I camped next to Mildenhall). At weekends UK or US bank holidays there is NO flying at Lakenheath at all, whereas you still have a chance to see the odd plane at Mildenhall on these days, this video was busy for a Saturday.
