100th KC-135 having fun at Mildenhall 19.03.25.

I had the pleasure of catching Wolff Pack make a "Shallow Beam approach" yesterday at Mildenhall. In essence, it's a curving low level run South to North to kinda buzz the tower - the top side view was awesome. I've not seen a KC-135 do this before and the light was perfect. :D
