Lakenheath Gets New F-15 Training System: Boeing has turned over a new distributed mission operations capability to RAF Lakenheath, Britain. The F-15C Mission Training Center joins four other F-15C training centers: Eglin AFB, Fla., Elmendorf AFB, Alaska, Kadena AB, Japan, and Langley AFB, Va. Boeing has networked each center with other Air Force DMO assets, providing each the capability to train with forces around the globe without leaving home station. (Read more about DMO here.)
