TED'S SPECTACULAR QUICK CLIMB FRIDAY • F15E & F35A RAF LAKENHEATH • VIEWING AREA HIGHLIGHTS 14.04.23

Описание: The TCS returned to the viewing area at the 48th Fighter Wing, RAF Lakenheath (USAFE) for Ted's Quick Climb Friday. Watch the spectacular afterburners and absorb the power of the fighter jets as they pull hard into a steep, vertical climb.

Feel the buzz when the pilot requests a 'quick climb' and 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!!!!Will there be 'Quick Climbs' or will there be just 'Local Climb' outs? Let's find out.

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.

So a little intro to the fighter squadrons:
492nd are the Bolars and Madhatters, they fly the F15E Strike Eagle. The tradition of wearing the bowler hat has continued to present day despite the lack of official uniform regulations authorizing such wear. Despite the usual spelling of the "bowler" hat, the squadron uses the flight callsign "Bolars."

The practice of adopting the headgear indicative of the various geographic regions the Bowlers are sent to has been continued. In Turkey, each deployed Madhatter had a blue fez hat.

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 ooh yeah.

The 494th are nicknamed the Panthers, is a combat-ready F-15E Strike Eagle squadron capable of executing strategic attack, interdiction, and counter air missions in support of United States Air Forces in Europe, United States European Command, and NATO operations. It employs the full array of air superiority and surface attack munitions to include the most advanced precision-guided weapons in the USAF inventory. The squadron is capable of deploying to any theater of operations in the world

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

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.
