Anyone seen them flying at an airshow, never seen one yet in the area.

The Mildenhall based aircraft have been regular flying attendees at RIAT for the past 4 or 5 years. We've also had USMC aircraft at RIAT and Farnborough displaying in the past.

Please define "never seen one yet in the area"? Post above states where they have displayed in the UK. If you were hoping to see one at Benbecula Air Pageant, then probably not! :wink:

They transit Lincolnshire most week nights and are regular visitors to the two Lincolnshire AWR :smile:

Remember they are Spec Ops so usually come out to play late afternoon/ evening. They do tend to navigate around the bigger towns though. We don't get them that often over Spalding
