We always did the 3 arrival days and usually did some spotting at Brize, Mildenhall (legendary Willows campsite ) and Lakenheath afterwards) Around 1992 was my visit to RIAT. Memories are a low B-52 flypast and begging for teabags from fellow campers, when I'd forgotten to bring any. Many hours spent at Mildenhall, (Willows) Lakenheath, and Marham my local airfields, and Holbeach bomb range watching A-10 and F-15E pop up bombing and staffing targets.. Regards. ..

C3PO Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) Yesterday at RIAT 2023 I climbed up to the cockpit of a real F-15 Strike Eagle. Delighted to say they replicated it perfectly from the one Razbam have created for us. Pilots getting younger too. I asked the pilot the radar's range. She smiled and replied: 'Far enough.'
