Dark 41

[Heal1979]

Good day All,

It seems a very long time since I last posted anything on the Forum, so below is my one and only visit to Fairford (so far) for the 2021 B-1B deployment.

A 600-mile round trip resulted in one launch, one landing (plus a touch n go).

Hopefully I'll get to see them again before they depart State side...

Looking at those...it was worth the trip! Number 13 is a fantastic capture, though they are all terrific.

Great pics, thanks for sharing. only one launch but was worth it I am sure.. us Meercats are like fishermen, wait all day for one bite and go home satisfied
