Pretty sure there’s a night flying part to it as well. Just looked and yeah there’s a second mission 21:00-23:00 but the Spanish won’t be partaking if those times are right.

Seem to remember that week two was two sorties per day so may change?

Nice weather at Mildenhall today seemed a shame not to take advantage of it. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54351089505_5806053b46_h.jpg 169554 P-8A Poseidon VP-26 LK US Navy RAFM 25 Feb 25A by pablogid , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54350905248_568b467cd2_h.jpg 169554 P-8A Pos...

Yes two turned up that day and I think both were ex European based.

Just a couple of US Military from Fort Lauderdale which seems to attract a few mil visitors amongst the civil. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53575959279_8a102a0efe_h.jpg Cn 5297 C-37B 11-0550 US Air Force FLL 10 Feb 24 by pablogid , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53576074740_c91...

Managed to catch these two in Florida the other week. Never know what's going to turn up while overseas. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53552309665_794f2fc31f_h.jpg FAH020 Cessna 208B Honduras Air Force FLL 7 Feb 24 by pablogid , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53551002612_c7017f3...

Nice to catch the F-22 support home yesterday just a couple of shots at a rather cold Mildenhall but great winter light. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52553487702_c5fa5c2f4e_h.jpg 62-3508 KC-135R Stratotanker 141ARS 108WG US Air Force RAFM 9 Dec 22 by pablogid , on Flickr https://live.staticfl...

NATO funding is all subject to the base mission. Lakenheath gets a lot of NATO funding whereas Mildenhall gets less as it supports other operations as well.

These are just maintenance contracts not new construction or redevelopment and has been standard practice for many years at both bases.

Another good day at the local (RAF Mildenhall). Long may it last. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52440494688_f90e560c96_h.jpg 58-0095 KC-135T Stratotanker 100ARW 351ARS US Air Force RAFM 19 Oct 22 by pablogid , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52439471117_23cca0731d_h.jpg 58-0095 K...
