Great shots Andy :clap:

I was on the mound yesterday as well and couldn't believe my luck in catching the RC-135U. I'll post some pics in the next few days.

For me, the F15Cs - a bit of history there, and they will be retired soon I think

thanks for all the positive comments everybody.
I nearly went to the mound Lee but chose folly road in the end - a shame because we could have finally met up!
