Mildenhall recap (warning lots of images)

Post by pikey01 » Sun May 16, 2010 5:51 pm

As you might of seen, myself and Beer Monster spent last week at Elveden forest so it would of been rude not to visit the Hall when we were stopping 12 miles away!

In no order:

Image

Not a great shot, a 3 ship departure of kc135's

Image

Some of the F15's arriving

Image

Image

Special treat in the form of these visitng c17's

Image

Image

Image

And finally the 2 EP3's

Image

This next one was shot around 9pm so I apologise for the noise

Image

Was great to meet Stig and Macksaviation last week. looking forward to visiting again soon :thumb:

Great shots mate, nice to meet you guys. Glad you enjoyed your visit!
The most interesting detail of the first shot is that the right hand outboard motor is throttled back, as the blow in doors at the front of the nacelle are closed.
On approach it made for only three trails of smoke from the old coal burner!
See you next time, Stig.
