I have heard from a Mildenhall resident the F22 Raptor is a regular visitor to Mildenhall. Is there any truth in this? Is it being denied like the SR71 in the '70s?

On any of the spotting newsgroups around Mildenhall of this, they would get quite "excited" if this were the case.

However if you want to see a B2 (or two if the spare makes it this year) - head down their this Sunday afternoon - it might stop-off between flypasts over RIAT

Well, considering that Mildenhall has only just reopened after several months' closure for runway resurfacing, it can't have been a regular visitor of late. There are no reports of F-22 visits that I have seen, so I think your source needs to support his claim if it is to be believed.
