Surprised not to see any info on here but I assume everyone is aware of it from another forum?
They should be on the ground by now but I do believe that 2 flights of F/A-18s using Mazda callsigns landed at LN this evening with support KC-10s in to Mildenhall.

Re: FA-18's to Lakenheath this evening
I was a little premature! 6 aircraft are on their way from Sigonella, the other flight of 6 are still on the deck. USMC jets from what I understand.
Re: FA-18's to Lakenheath this evening
They are from the Marine Corps, VMFA-314 I believe....
As said 6 due in the next 15-20mins, second 6 rooted at Sigonella.
I assume wave 2 will push for a transit tomorrow?

Depends if they fix the KC-10, Iain
Re: FA-18's to Lakenheath this evening
They best get on it and get it sorted sharpish then!
Re: FA-18's to Lakenheath this evening
Another 6 arrived this evening.
Rumour is of a mid morning/afternoon departure tomorrow.
