Sorry to disappoint if you thought that you were going to see pictures from Hill AFB! These are from the Warren at Lakenheath as the French were launching for yesterday's Point Blank exercise, distinct lack of sunlight this week making things a bit difficult.

Yes being local and knowing where to go helps a lot, still could have all gone wrong and ended up with nothing....that's the nature of the hobby.

Excellent shots considering that flat light and poor sky

Thanks for posting

C17 shots are really nice.

Lovely set and great positioning for the French

Lovely shots, was on the hill myself and surprised there weren't more

Nice set of shots. When i lived in lakenheath it was always a great spot to go to for visiting large aircraft and if the 48th were using taxiway November.
