AC-130J AGREE42 at Mildenhall 05/10/24.

Post by WinchesterMGF » Sat Oct 05, 2024 9:05 pm

AC-130J 19-5926 arrived at Mildenhall this afternoon from the East. It had been rumoured to arrive every day since Tuesday so I was quite pleased to catch it, particularly when it turned right onto Bravo so I could catch the best side. ( and held there long enough for me to re-locate to Folly Rd for it taxying past ) :thumbs:

Cracking shots Andrew, thank you. Forgive me, what is the 'lumpy bit' on the roof. Is it Sat. Com. or something more exotic?

The nose on crop is really terrific - sums up for me what the AC is all about
