Join us live at RAF Lakenheath, a USAF base which is home to the 48th Fighter Wing. RAF Lakenheath might carry the name RAF, but it is a USAFE base and home to four combat ready fighter squadrons under its wing. The base is home to the birth of 'SKIM THE FENCE' and 'SKIM THE VAN' where the F-15E Strike Eagles and F-35A Lightning pilots like to show us all how it's done.

Which is your favourite at RAF LAKENHEATH, the F-15E or the F-35A?
The F-35s at Lakenheath are the A variant and they have some very unique characteristics of the three main variants. They have a 'Vulcan-like' howl and although they cannot hover, they are the variant of the ABC that can pull +9Gs. They are incredible to watch and hear.
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.
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
