The 48th Fighter Wing will increase flying operations Published July 13, 2018 48th Fighter Wing Public Affairs ROYAL AIR FORCE LAKENHEATH, England -- The 48th Fighter Wing will increase flying operations from RAF Lakenheath over the next two weeks. Communities in East Anglia and the surrounding areas may see and hear more U.S. jets in the sky than is usual. There are no plans for low-altitude or night flying in East Anglia during this period. These operations facilitate a number of training requirements for both aircrew and support personnel on the ground, and are necessary to ensure a ready and capable force.
