20th anniversary of the F-15E at RAF Lakenheath
ROYAL AIR FORCE LAKENHEATH, England -- In spite of the recent weather, 48th Fighter Wing mission continues and Liberty Wing Airmen held a 20th anniversary commemoration event, Feb. 10, 2012. The first F-15E Strike Eagle arrived to Lakenheath on Feb. 21, 1992 and has supported numerous U.S and NATO missions from Operation Provide Comfort in 1993 to Operations Odyssey Dawn and Unified Protector in 2011. The F-15E is a dual-role fighter designed to perform air-to-air and air-to-ground missions. An array of avionics and electronics systems gives the F-15E the capability to fight at low altitude, day or night, and in all weather. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Lee A. Osberry Jr.)
