SEND IT! F-35A MASS TAKE OFF RAF LAKENHEATH USAFE • 48TH FIGHTER WING 493D & 495TH FIGHTER SQUADRON

Twelve F-35A Lightning II comprising of the 493d Fighter Squadron (Grim Reapers) and the 495th Fighter Squadron (Valkyries) at RAF Lakenheath "launch" one after the other in a mass takeoff. The TCS have never seen 12 F-35As takeoff like this before!

493rd are the legendary GRIM REAPERS. They were briefly deactivated with their F-15C and F-15D in April 2022 but have been re-equipped with the F35A.

The 495th Fighter Squadron who became the first overseas USAF to operate the F-35A...ooh 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.
