MCAS Mildenhall 9th June.

[BossHogg]

Hi all, few images from a rather spectacular Sunday up the base with the arrival of BANSHEE and PHANTOM flights off the USS Wasp. The wait was long but definitely worth it. Hope you enjoy

What a day! How did they land?

[Petepilot]

Really good pics, thanks for sharing. I'd hate to have been the ground crew that applied the BuNo and "Marines" to the tail of 51!

[Widget]

Awesome shots, great to see these, what a treat!

[sdad]

What does REIN stand for?

[Nighthawke]

Reinforced - with additional assets to just MV-22. (OK, I looked it up as I didn't know either)

[sdad]

Thanks, couldn't find it anywhere other than in the squadron name.

Great set of shots (you lucky b*ast*rds!), definitely got the winning lottery ticket there that day - while all the mugs were at Cosford . Aside from that, it's great to know that wonderful surprises can still crop up at Mildenhall - could you imagine how packed out the place would have been if prior word had got out Fair play to you, right place , right time, well done.

I'm amazed how people managed to keep it a secret - annoying (not that we are in any way entitled to know) but a lucky reward for those who happened to be there.

[Nighthawke]

I don't think it was a secret was it? One AV-8 had a problem and they diverted. At least that's how I read the thread yesterday.

[GhostFlight91]

Nice!!
