Mildenhall 16th October

Post by MikeH » Fri Oct 16, 2009 6:27 pm

Only time for a short visit but at least there was some action while I was there.
Not exactly ideal photographic conditions (and some of the subjects were nearly over the next county!)

They were using runway 29 and there was a bit of a crosswind:

Not so much a photo album, more of a record of what flew.

Allegedly it's taking part in some AAR trials with the KC-135s. :huh:
