RAF Mildenhall - Redhawks Depart 26th March 2017

Was a lovely sunny day at the scheduled departure time for the Orgeon F-15's but when they finally departed at just after 14:00 the sky had clouded over and the hazy light was a pig to say the least. Only 6 of the F-15's departed on the Sunday in the end, along with 2 KC-10A's:
