AK C-17

Post by skidrow » Sun Jan 31, 2021 4:34 pm

Nice to see an Alaskan C-17 at Mildenhall. Managed to bag this from the garden as it departed this morning sadly light wasn't as great as it has been recently.

Hoping we'll see the AK tankers at some point as well. They have 8 different tail marks with links to different Alaskan communities. Nice to see quite a few ANG units marking up aircraft, just hope they escape the USAF insignia review.
