- metaphor 4y agoDefinitely the UK, more specifically, RAF Lakenheath, a well-known F-15 OCONUS base. From the pic[1], "LN" tailflash is telltale, but if your confidence is still waivering, this is the precise location[2] that the pic was taken from: you can see spot "03" painted on the flightline and tower in the background.
