Thanks

Cheers to the guys down Folly for the RC-135U heads up - unfortunately I had to head south afterwards so missed the Dragon Lady climbing out.

Nice set,

I like the U2 shots, tells the story more than it flying by coming in to land.

If you don't me me asking can you expand on your penultimate KC-135... Photos of all bar one now eh?, how long did it take you? all at Mildenhall? etc etc. I enjoy the day out and the photography side and not really into serials, but that's an impressive achievement.

Cheers

Hi Mike,
Great selection over recent weeks, always like the livery on the Wisconsin ANG 135's. U-2 pictures are atmospheric almost like an oil painting for the dismount. Did you have your smaller lens on for LH?
Thanks for posting

Thanks all.

At the risk of bumping my own thread !
I just need to see 58-0055 and TC-135 62-4133 , I started logging them in 1976 but have only lived local to Mildenhall since 2017. The aforementioned numbers are the only two active machines I need but there must be some preserved I still need.

I need to update my totals but I have seen about 685 different C-135 NOT counting DM which I treat separately for some reason - There are plenty of spotters who have seen the lot less WO.

I love the Dragon Lady and Sentry images... That E-3 looks like it needs a good cleaning job.

[KeBul]

Thanks,

A 44 year plus logging journey, amazing stuff.

Just found your specific thread on this as well which has more info.

Good luck on completing the set.
