Hi all,

Apologies for the terrible picture quality but does anyone know what this colour scheme is?

It just flew into a US airbase and it isn't one I've seen before.

Just curious as the tail motif looks like a 'plane and wondered if it's a support plane for something worth keeping an eye open for smile

Which US base please?

Is it a Joint base with army or Marine Corps

Lakenheath and no idea, sorry!

Was just on a local Facebook page there's millions of cars up there watching (which is unusual as not much happens on a Sunday normally) and this came over while I was in the garden so I wondered if it was anything interesting smile

That looks like it! I've just been reading on fighter control (just found it!) that there's 3 tankers due in Lakenheath in about 15 mins which are something to do with the Raptors so hopefully they're to follow. Got my camera primed and a beer in hand hehe
