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.
