Skyhunter66 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 One of the benefits or living between York and the East Coast is that i sit right below one of the RAF's training areas and in the good old days was lucky enough to watch Harriers, Jags and the odd Canberra and Nimrod etc flying about. These days its Typhoons, Tornado's and F15's (could be worse!). So now the USAF have kindly sent over some of their Raptors I have geared myself for the ensuing entertainment. Office window has been cleaned and Bino's cleaned and sitting at the ready on the window ledge! If I had some brain cells I might be able to track their movements but alas I have no idea how to do this. So in effect I am now on QRA!

SimonR Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I'm in Norfolk, on alert here too. Yep, me too, quite often see F-15s over Norwich so fingers crossed for an F-22 sighting!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harley John Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 In Norwich in about 8 days time. Might have to take a wander out Lakenheath way. Last time the Mem Sahib & I went to have a look we got stuck in torrential rain that made driving around Norfolk a touch fraught. And we never saw a bl**dy thing! Now have FR24 on my phone but not really showing any heavy metal, might have to push out the boat & buy the app rather than use the free version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
