There is a lot of F-15s flying over us in Wales, its it Training from other countries or do the RAF have plans on ordering them?

[berry123100]

@varlb002 The F15s are permanently stationed at RAF Lakenheath, they are American and Lakenheath is run by the Americans. The RAF have no plans to buy the F15.

Love the video! Can I ask though, did you camp out there for a while before anything came through or did you know they were going to be there? I really want to go there one day!

[berry123100]

We didn't camp out there it was a day visit, just pot luck. The only thing that stops them flying is really poor visibility. Get there early though if you want to visit.

Is this the Blwch exit or all the way at the top of the mountain?

[berry123100]

It was the spot above and right of the car park. We were about three quarters of the way up the hill.

Just imagine the Vulcan going through there!

Those Hawks make a fantastic whistling noise. The air pressure must be immense on the windshield.

@berry123100 i thought lakenheath was a USAF base because my cadet squadron is visiting there and i was told they were american

[Flackerr]

Are they flying like that every day ??

[jonesy97]

Lakenheath!!! I was based there when the F-111F's were there. I can't help but wonder if the 111's ever flew through the mach loop?

[wetrix1]

[xMelinhox]
