Mildenhall RC 135S /E-4B.

Post by BOLLO » Sat Aug 24, 2019 5:23 pm

Hello all.A few shots from a very v warm Mildenhall on this August Bank Holiday so far.Missed the the USMC MV 22s by mins due to traffic but made up for that with getting the RC 135S COBRA BALL heading out on his night time mission calling COMBO 59.The main reason for the trip was EDGE 99 E-4B 73-1676 arriving Saturday morning and with it being my first ever arrival shot at the Hall I was chuffed to bag him in some cracking light.Here are a few,cheers for looking. :thumb:

Very nice Paul, the RC-135S on take-off and landing, and the E-4B are great shots in fine light. I managed to catch the MV-22s at Prestwick on departure.
Cheers.
