Yesterday (Friday) I was fortunate to be a member of a group allowed on base to photograph the specially marked tail F-15C at Lakenheath before it returns to the US. Organised by Richard Cooper, founder of the Centre for Aviation Photography (COAP), we were given the opportunity to shoot whatever pictures we wanted with the aircraft in front of a hardened shelter. The only restriction was no shots of the cockpit. The specially marked air brake has been replaced with a conventionally painted version, I don't know why The last four C versions return to the US on Monday 25th April. The departure time is expected to be around 11am. UPDATE as of Sunday evening Monday's planned departure has been delayed. I don't have any more details than that. One aircraft which is out of hours will remain on base as a ground instructional airframe. A huge thank you to "Buddha", the squadron commander for giving us this opportunity and Richard Cooper for organising it. I did take close ups of wheels, missile rails etc and although I haven't posted them here, if anybody needs an image to help one of their builds then drop me a PM. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Our hosts; "Vegas" and "Buddha" 18. That's it, thanks for looking!
