RAF Lakenheath. F-15 Eagle Official Viewing Area..

Have you ever been on the base mate? Its like a whole separate world once you go through the gate. American cars (Dodge chargers are fairly common), the foods you can buy are immense. And the school is great, the classes are run so differently to our schools.

@ExportAli Thats the best if you can get a invite onto the base, its pretty much a piece of America, it would be awesome to go on base and video a full power engine test run on a F-15.

@Wonkabar007 For the few days I was there, the sound of the jets overhead never ceased to amaze me

@topwing93 Its always down to luck weather flying is happening when visiting a airbase, the best thing is to have a friend on the airbase who can let you know when the action is taking place.

[Wonkabar007]

I wish I could of got closer, because the thrust reversers on landing sounded fantastic.

It's not that far from me, but l've never been.. When my son is well again and has got himself a car he'll have to drive us there! He's a big fan of the F-15's.. :)

[Wonkabar007]

Always amazes me, how birds don't seem to be scared off by the loud jets.
