Tour - United Kingdom III

Exercise Cobra Warrior 25-2

Information

We plan to travel to the United Kingdom for the Cobra Warrior 25/2 exercise which will be held from 15 September to 3 October 2025 at several bases in the UK. The main base for the exercise is usually RAF Waddington, but we will also visit RAF Coningsby, RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall which all have beautiful places for nice pictures. RAF Marham was also fairly active during the previous edition and might also expect a visit from us. Perhaps RAF Fairford for the B-52s and U-2s is also a possibility.

We intend to go there for about a week with a minibus from The Netherlands and cross the Channel with a ferry from Calais to Dover. We can pick you up along the route. You can take a small stepladder with you and because of the small group we will have a lot of flexibility.
