Re: Mildenhall Air Fete 1982 SR-71A & U-2R

Thanks for sharing the nostalgia. Forgive any naivity but Is the 10337 U-2R the same as U2S 68-10337 currently at Fairford.

Re: BRIG Ops 28.10.19

Re: Bomber task force deployment ( B2s )

Note there is this separate section so re-posting:
There is a short video on dod.defence.gov>news>special reports that talks about the B2 deployment and working with the RAF. It is planned that B2''s and F35's will be flying together.

Re: B52 IFE Mildenhall

Thanks for posting the Pics - those of us that do not live nearby rely on people like Dave.
Presumably has now been towed from the runway. Where will the spare engine come from - I assume there are spares at Minot and Barksdale and who will fit - a specialist crew flown in?

Whitsun Bank Holidays are not the same without the Air Fete. Thanks for sharing the memories especially of the Cold Beer, Burgers (just cannot find any as good) and of course the Traffic!!

Re: Press Conference 19th March

Thanks. Good point, would be interesting to know how many flights the B52's do each year. Presumably the deployments are an opportunity to practise refuelling on longer flights as I suspect they do not to many trips of this duration.
