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.

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.

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

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!

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...
