Mildenhall 7/5

Post by slogen51 » Fri May 07, 2021 11:48 am

Mildenhall is having something like a families day with a pair of CV-22 0042 and 0047 in the circuit giving rides to family volunteers or do they have to go up in a Osprey :). I think Strix 61/62 are also involved.


Knife 71/72 doing multiple pax drop offs

A local airfield ??? Meadows ? Has complained and asked Knife 71 not to overfly the aerodrome

Have had many passes by ospreys today in Cambridge always a pair. I wondered if they where going into Marshall's.

I saw earlier that it's Military Spouse appreciation day so if as you suggest, they're probably giving rides to said spouses.
