July 28, 20214 yr I read about this the other day. Lakenheath I recall. I hope they gave the guy a look inside an F15. They should give him a ride too. If The Blue Angels and Thunderbirds can do incentive rides then they should get this guy up in an F15. Whiz him down the Mach Loop. 👍

Not exactly a busy airport is it, I would have imagined that watching expensive planes take off would be farly routine. My second thought was why no alarm was activated in such a complex piece of machinery?
