Mildenhall 07/01 - USMC KC-130J's

Post by Zymurgy661 » Sat Jan 07, 2012 6:39 pm

Went on a nice family trip to Thetford today but just before leaving the house found out about 2 KC-130J's coming into Mildenhall. So, loaded up the camera and headed to get them first!

Light was lovely on the first but not quite so good for the second. Hope you enjoy!

Very nice indeed. I tracked them on PP coming up through France and onto the last leg into the 'Hall. I'm just that bit too far away to nip down for a pic.
Nice to see the real thing.
Thanks again

Fantastic shots! Love the propwash on shot 4. The change in light really made a difference to the look of the second arrival, but still a cracking capture! :clap:
