'THANOS'

The 48th Fighter Wing is about to enter its 70th year of operations & RAF Lakenheath have painted F-15E Strike Eagle 92-364 with a special paint scheme to celebrate the rich history of Liberty pilots, maintainers and all airmen of the 48th FW.

The paint scheme is based on the Skyblazers aerial demonstration team from the 1950's & 60's, honouring a piece of USAFE's 80-year history.

 

This is the newly-painted jet blasting through LFA7 last week, leading an F-35A, about 30 minutes prior to both going on static display at the Royal International Air Tattoo, RAF Fairford.
