gary1701 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Hi gents, Thought these might be of interest, especially as the 493rd FS F-15C in the D-Day anniversary scheme is due to be painted back to normal soon, if the 48th's comments of social media are accurate. Shot on Wednesday of this week in some nice light on the 24 approach. They didn't fly the similarly marked 492nd F-15E either, although that has been active this week. The third, the yellow tailed 494th FS jet has gone, as it's back in the US on overhaul and it will almost certainly come back blank. The 493rd 'heritage' jet, 84-0010 landing Wednesday afternoon as the second jet in 'Hitman' flight. Still seems strange to see a single seater painted in F-15E grey. Also a few routine shots of the 492nd and 493rd, the final squadron, the 494th is deployed for six months. Some of the 492nd still retain their mission tallies from their 2017 deployment. The 492nd's newly marked flagship has also strangely now acquired a green star on the nose, well after their last deployment operationally in late 2017. I can only assume they've decided to credit it with a UAV kill in a similar manner to 97-0219, the heritage jet. Still a few 494th left behind, presumably borrowed by the 492nd. Last light of the day, with a C and D paired up. Hope that's worth a look. Gary 19 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Great photos Gary. I have seen pictures before of all 3 heritage jets and thought they were F-15Es because l saw the dark grey paint, silly me. Regards Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Riot Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I know it's a way off yet but having just booked a holiday in Suffolk for a few days in July, does anyone know if LN is likely to be shut on Monday 6th July as a day in lieu for 4th July being a Saturday?
