KC-46A first Visit to Mildenhall

Post by dinger » Fri Nov 15, 2019 5:00 pm

KC-46A, 16-46017 calling RCH 046 of the 22nd ARW was a first visit of the type to Mildenhall. Here are a few shots of the departure in less than ideal conditions.

Some nice pics in what looks like less than perfect weather, thanks for braving the conditions.
However it’s ugly as hell, long live the 135.

Good catch and nice photos.
