Then it was over to Mildenhall as the RC-135U 'JAKE 27' was heading back in after a short-ish sortie across Europe. Lakenheath burst into life as soon as we left.
RC-135V 'JAKE 17' was also following along behind the U-boat so got that one in the bag before heading off to Dux. We also had a pair of Finnish F-18s in for an overshoot but there was no sunlight for them , so those shots will remain in purgatory.
Not my best day out with the camera - second time this year (the other being RIAT) where I've binned way more than I've kept as almost everything comes out soft or out of focus. I wonder if it's time for an upgrade as the 50D is very old now?
I've got Monday and Tuesday off for some Cobra Warrior acton too, though I'm undecided if it'll involve Waddington or not. Might end up doing one at Lakenheath and the other at Mildenhall.
