Suffolk Visitors

Post by luke28 » Sat Sep 24, 2022 7:33 am

Alright folks, haven't put a photography post up on here for a very long time so thought I would do a post of the visitors I have managed to catch at the Suffolk / Norfolk bases over the past few years. Most of these were caught thanks to the amazing amount of information available on this forum :thumbs:

Wow! What an excellent, varied set! So hard to pick a favourite, but I think the second Lakenheath image of the Hercules head on is a cracker!

A set of pictures to be proud of and an excellent record of some of the more exotic visitors that have passed through Suffolk in recent years.

I remember coordinating the E-4B NEACP Aircraft landing when I was stationed at Barksdale AFB, LA. Got a tour of the interior but couldn't take pics.
