The TCS are Live at RAF Lakenheath and with the arrival of F-22 Raptors (08/12/22) will we see them depart? Fridays are also a 'QUICK CLIMB FRIDAY' or 'unrestricTED Friday'.
We were treated to FIVE F-22 Raptor departures and one of them requested a QUICK CLIMB. We were also treated to a lots of quick/unrestricted climb outs from the F15Es. OOOOHHHHHH YEAHHHHHH
'Cube' which was the callsign for the F22s had one RTB and squawk an emergency 7700 with a generator failure. Cube 21 had the emergency.

The 'Liberator' is a decorated F-15E Strike Eagle to commemorate the 70 years of the 48th Fighter Wing at RAF Lakenheath.
RAF Lakenheath is the home of the 48th Fighter Wing. Armed with four fighter squadrons which include the 492nd FS, 493rd FS, 494th FS and the newly reactivated 'Valkyries', the 495th Fighter Squadron.
We are also brining you an alternative viewing experience. We are planning to be on the opposite end of the runway in use, to give you a very unique experience and all being well, should a pilot request a 'quick climb', then brace yourself for a dose of FULL ON adrenaline rush. So this not going to be your usual stream from the deck or the viewing area, we are going to give you to other side of things and believe me, should they request the unrestricted climb or the quick climb, hold on to your berets!!!!
Although the base carries the name of RAF, it is in fact a UNITED STATES AIR FORCE. Historically, the 48th FW has been the foundation of USAFE's combat capability and remains so today...it is known as LIBERTY WING. All aircraft belonging to RAF Lakenheath will carry the tail code LN. If you see an aircraft with different letters, then youve seen an aircraft from a different airbase....
So a little intro to the fighter squadrons:
492nd are the Bolars and Madhatters, they fly the F15E Strike Eagle
493rd are the legendary GRIM REAPERS. They were briefly deactivated with their F-15C and F-15D in April 2022 but have been requipped with the F35A oooooh yeah
The 494th are nicknamed the Panthers and fly the F-15E Strike Eagle
Finally, we have the 'Valkyries', the 495th Fighter Squadron who became the first overseas USAF to operate the F-35A...oooooh yeah! They were reactivated after 30 years on the 1st October 2021
