Fabulous shot and some great light on it too. I was at LN that day watching the D-Day Strike Eagle, but also monitoring the C-5 on 360Radar thinking "someone's bound to get a good landing shot of that..." :thumb:

I stand corrected -Airseeker
Unlikely they will go to Fairford they have just built the below. Otherwise they would have just borrowed Mildenhall one and waited until USAF built one at Fairford for the move rather than go to the expense.

The aircraft don't have to be where the simulator is. :)

i'm aware the aircraft don't have to be were they simulator is but if they had located to Fairford crews still have to travel, the French have been using the E3 simulator years.
