Military aircraft operate from several bases in Norfolk and Suffolk, including the RAF s F35 Lightning IIs at RAF Marham, and US Air Force Strike Eagles at RAF Lakenheath.
Their presence in Norfolk skies has even been felt by the Queen when she is in residence at Sandringham.
The Queen visited the aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth in Portsmouth at the weekend ahead of an overseas deployment which will include the Marham-based jets.
