THE FIGHTERS AT RAF LAKENHEATH ENGLAND
The above Fighters are the U.S. Air Forces F-15 Fighters that replaced The F-111 Fighter that was Lakenheath's main Fighter for over 25 years. RAF Lakenheath has many Fighter Squadrons on the base. The above picture is the 493rd Fighter Squadron F-15C Eagle throttles up for takeoff while departing RAF Lakenheath for Gando Air Base, Spain March 6, 2009. The aircraft took off in two waves to participate in a dissimilar air combat training exercise. The overarching goal of the exercise is to improve flying skills against other aircraft, to include the Eurofighter and F/A-18, and improve relations with the Spanish Air Force.
