I hope someone bought this Raptor pilot a beer for waiting so long to fly and then doing an awesome job!

As of 10:00 am on Saturday, Sept. 15, 2018, the two Raptors are still out sunning themselves at the London International Airport!
They were parked right up where the accessibilty parking was, right at the end of Huron St. One of the Air Force personnel there said they weren't moving out today, either. "We're staying put." is how he put it.
It was a beautiful day today; perfect for an airshow, ironically, although a bit hot. it's literally doubly hot as last week for the show, and certianly more humid. Me, I'll take the cold of last week!

The London Free Press reported they were grounded waiting out hurricane Florence which makes senseRaptor Prey wrote: ↑Wed Sep 19, 2018 4:10 pmSo....days later do we have any updates regarding when and if the Raptors have left yet?Faust wrote: ↑Sat Sep 15, 2018 3:35 pm As of 10:00 am on Saturday, Sept. 15, 2018, the two Raptors are still out sunning themselves at the London International Airport!

Cool. I had a hunch that they were marooned in London due to stormy weather in the States. Then again the article also mentioned repairs being done by ground crew as well. I think the jets were stuck due to both bad weather and unreliable engines.
Has anyone here gone out to London Airport to see if the Raptors are still there at this moment?
Im just curious to see how long it'll take for them to fly out...

The weather part has nothing to do with the Hurricane. Tyndall AFB is in Florida, no where close to a Hurricane. So the media reported that wrong. Them sticking around has absolutely nothing to do with weather, at all.
Both jets experienced some major mechanical issues which have kept them here being worked on. They were supposed to be gone this past monday be ran into the same issues again. There isn’t a timeline on their departure.

Take a look at what it’s like to jump with the CAF Skyhawks and take a read on the skydiving experience. Special thanks to the Skyhawks crew for allowing us to join them in the air at Airshow London 2018!
