U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagles from the 48th Fighter Wing conduct
night operations at RAF Lakenheath (RAFL). Aircrew train regularly in low
light conditions to ensure they're prepared for any scenarios they
may encounter.
The 48th FW at RAFL is the U.S. Air Force
only F-15 (F-15E and F-15C) fighter wing in Europe that brings unique air combat
capabilities to the fight, such as the most advanced Joint Direct
Attack Munitions used by the F-15E. It provides all-weather, day or
night air superiority and air-to-ground precision combat capability
and multi-staged improvement program avionics.
When teamed together, the F-15E and F-15C
provide an air combat capability never before seen in the history of
airpower.
