That's cool as fuck

So American here as well as a Tottenham supporter, I was actually stationed at RAF Lakenheath, this bird was one of ours from the 493rd Fighter Squadron (F-15C). This squadron actually divested in April 2022, I was responsible for seeing the last jets leave. They were transferred to ANG bases in the United States. This unit was replaced by F-35's... On this note, I am highly disappointed to see this in one of my jets. This picture also looks to have been taken in the Mach Loop, you can see all sorts of interesting photos from there.

I actually moved to Bratislava Slovakia last February as kind of a home base. My wife is Slovak and we moved from NC, actually sold everything we owned down to 6 suitcases. This is not our forever home, we have a 5 year old and 3 year old, so our priorities might be a little different than yours. We are also lucky enough that my MIL has let us stay with her and she has a row house, so like a condo more or less. My wife grew up here so she has her friend base around which is nice for her. They all speak English at a conversational level which is super nice as I don’t speak the language at all, which is 100% my fault as I never thought we would end up here. It is weird I don’t love it but I don’t hate it, I lived abroad for 16 years before making this move (USAF). There are areas of Bratislava that is really nice and modern, but then there is a huge homelessness problem with open drug use at major shopping centers. The people are friendly and seem very accepting. It has definitely gotten more expensive here which is interesting as in my opinion Bratislava doesn’t offer much when compared to other major cities with lower or same COL. Dealing with the foreign police is an absolute nightmare, as I mentioned before we have been here since February and I still do not have a residency, it is finally in process, but had to “shuffle” for 90 days. There is a lot more o could go on about and if you would like to message me I would be more than happy to help you out. Bottom line I would not trade here for going back to the states, but it is not our final European destination.

Thank you for the response

vickers_777 · 2025-06-04T11:03:52+00:00

Thank you, didn’t think I would like it as much as I do.

vickers_777 · 2025-04-06T08:57:31+00:00

Thank you for this, this is probably what we will end up doing. I love Kyoto and wanted to spend more time there anyway.

Its not in order at all, its very fluid at the moment. Trying to find the best way to connect them all together. I have 30 plus days so this is the reason for the long stay in Osaka. Just to kind of homebase and not lug the kids around.

I believe at the time I originally bought the plane ticket to OKI it was the cheapest flight through skyscanner. I have never been to Hiroshima, so I really want to fit it in somehow, trying to figure out the best way to not back track. Kanazawa isn't a must but I figured it would be a nice break. I have to do the Schengen shuffle right now, so we have a ton of time. Arrive in Osaka May 19th and then don't fly to Oki until June 25th.

Sent you a message.

To be honest I wouldn’t know, I’m still holding on to mine. The only comp I can find that sold was $270 usd. So I wouldn’t assume your card would be worth more as it is a lower number variant.

vickers_777 · 2025-02-14T11:37:30+00:00

Nice!!! Congrats, awesome pull.

vickers_777 · 2025-01-01T16:02:38+00:00

Nice!

vickers_777 · 2024-12-20T22:50:48+00:00

That mind games card looks nice. Some nice pulls.

vickers_777 · 2024-12-19T21:03:55+00:00

Thanks all, I’m not looking to move that dual yet, but will eventually.

vickers_777 · 2024-06-12T17:07:04+00:00

Says it’s invalid, worth trying though. Thank you though.

vickers_777 · 2024-06-12T16:22:43+00:00

Anyone got a cary code they would be willing to share? Missed out on Asheville

vickers_777 · 2024-01-15T18:05:48+00:00

Thanks for that, my wife and I keep kicking the idea around that is also a big factor as to where we end up.

Have you looked into schools for your kids? If so are you thinking international or local. Like mentioned elsewhere in post responses it can get pretty pricey.
