First visit to Mildenhall

Post by ph87gb » Sun Feb 11, 2018 9:20 am

Had some decent light for some of the visit but sadly visitors were a bit thin on the ground and I missed out on getting shots of the French Air Force TBM700 and the USAF C21 and when the RC-135 and P-8 returned the light had gone - in fact it was raining both evenings when the P-8 returned while I was there.

Thanks for looking

Peter

An AC-130 and CV-22s on your first visit. I’d say you’re pretty lucky sir! No doubt you’ll be back for more

Haha, yes the AC130 was cool (even saw it ott south of Cardiff a couple of days back) but as the Ospreys are based there I think I'd have been a bit disappointed not to have seen one. Sadly I suspect it may just be an annual visit.
