"UK Based F-15Es Flew A Secret Long-Range Mission Over Africa On Monday"

"A pair of RAF Lakenheath based USAF F-15E Strike Eagles that were bristling with live bombs and air-to-air missiles, along five KC-135R tankers, flew on a secretive and grueling 12 hour mission over the Southern Mediterranean on Monday, May 25th, Memorial Day."

American F-15 in the fighter-bomber role conduct a secret mission the exact details and success of which are unknown.

You need to read the whole article. Most informative.

That combination of civilian radio monitors, plane spotters and persons using a web site similar to Flightradar24.com radar images able to discern and follow the aircraft en route to Libya and return.

Technology, means and methods once only available to certain select group of military personnel now is in the possession of the average-everyday citizen and put to good use. In many cases at least with the Internet web sites that are pertinent, it is all FREE!!

Amazing and remarkable.
