ICER11 visits RAF Lakenheath 19th June 2015

Hi All,

Nice visitor to RAF Lakenheath today in the shape of ICER 11 completing a couple of TACAN approaches. Managed to catch its final approach before it headed back to RAF Fairford.

Historic catch - first time a B-52 has been in the Lakenheath pattern? Certainly none have ever landed there.

Well caught Mike - even got the doors still open as the gear recycles. Sorry to miss that at my local but stuck in Bury at work :'(

Great shots. The b52 always looks like it's diving just after liftoff. Beast
