The aircraft was based out of RAF Lakenheath Suffolk and there is quite a good viewing area off Wangford Road. They fly most weekdays, even at night occasionally, quite impressive I believe. Depending on circumstances they either take off coming towards you or land from behind. When coming towards you they nearly always dip their wings to show us plane spotting sadoes what they are carrying - or not.

Chap was only 34 and arrived at the base in February, he was also recently married.

F15 details here:

shows flight paths of military aircraft, but no F15s. Typhoons, F35s, Apaches out of Wattisham, well more than you can shake a stick at.

PS if I could work out how to put up some photos I would.
