Any idea if mildenhall will be open over the bank Holiday weekend, was told it was to closing for the weekend

the notam lasts until 05:00 on the 29th May, so looks like it will be open as normal on Tuesday. (hope so because i was going to the loop)

Thanks paul i know it was a funny way of putting it , but there has been no mention of the AC-130 since its arrival on Thursday and i am hoping to do a hit on run on Sunday morning.

Ya can not get to it as the the track leading up to where he is parked as been blocked off .

It is viewable from the forest entrance off the A1065, but a bit distant, and not possible to photograph from there.
