“The Cadet Day at RAF Lakenheath is always popular,” said Stephanie Robins, RAF Lakenheath community relations advisor. “The cadets gets an opportunity to engage with our Airmen and see US Air Force equipment up close.
“We look forward to meeting more cadets next year.”

Representatives from various career fields, such as the 48th Security Forces Squadron, the 493rd Fighter Squadron, were present to answer any questions and provide demonstrations.
The essence of the event is to inspire the RAF cadets to look towards the future for not only the RAF but the appreciation of the partnership with the US Air Force.
