Raptors departing Mildenhall with a 'Clean' ending

Post by TeeJay » Sun Sep 13, 2015 6:42 pm

Hi

Spent a very enjoyable Saturday at Mildenhall, which was a pre-planned visit, meeting up with friends, but with a slightly earlier start due to the special overnight visitors.
It was great to see so many people in John's field and its always nice to meet, and catch up with some fellow FC'ers :thumb:

There are some smashing shots already posted on FC, from many different angles, which is great to see, thanks to everyone that has posted :thumbs:

Here is my take of the day, enjoy.......

Well Trev, you've outdone yourself with these, that C-17 is great and the Raptors are something else, some superb captures there mate :clap: :clap: :thumb:

What can I say Trev - was going to write something derogatory but on an open forum .............probably best not!

These are fantastic - well done mate. Keep them coming!

Good to see you and Steve for the day yesterday (shame you did not make it over for the F-22s and pub Friday) and put the world to rights after the departures - see you on the 11th October

All the very best

Hi Trev,
Just catching up after a weekend working.
A great set considering the weather.
I've got another two trips planned for Mildenhall before the end of the year, hope to bump into you.
All the best

Hi Trev

Brilliant shots, as the other FC'ers have already said. Your shots certainly tell the story of events :thumb:
I was listening to the scanner at home and if I were to replay that and looked at your shots at the same time
it would be like watching a live webcam....... :thumbs:

Hard to chose a favourite, but I particularly like number 7 as it shows the power of the F-22

Thanks for sharing mate

All the best

Great shots mate, you must've been standing near me as my efforts are similar, the content, not the quality. Yours are outstanding. Nice one

Thanks again for all the kind comments, it's very much appreciated :)
Andy, be good to meet you when you down sometime.
Martin, you missed a cracking day, glad you heard the action on the scanner though. I hope you soon out and about again :)
Crawfly, it was a bit 'cosy' on the trailer, say hi next time :P
Thanks again

Hi Trev :P

They are all rubbish, carp, out of focus, too dark, badly framed, and did I say, I WASN'T THERE :Wow:

Great stuff :@

Not jealous :@

NOT AT ALL :@

Bu@@er :Wow:

Very best regards and thanks for sharing ;)
