Last two days at Mildenhall.

Post by gary1701 » Fri Sep 30, 2011 9:05 pm

Gents,

A mixture from the last two days at Mildenhall. Mostly down Folly Rd and some on the 11 approach.

Out and back in again.

US SOG bird.

The lowest KC-10 I have ever seen come out of Mildenhall, and I gather he used the overrun up the other end as well.

Image

What I really pleased to get yesterday, two USMC KC-130J's

Lakenheath F-15's arriving home from their Far East adventures over the summer.

A couple of their tankers.

Local 'Quid' callsign off the deck this morning. I bet virtually everybody down there today was hoping he would abort!

Lovely selection from what's been a cracking few days at the hall. Really like the nose-art close up on the Tinker tanker and the KC-10 looks great also.

Folly Road offers some nice opportunities for shooting when traffic is using 11.

Thanks gents, it certainly was a good end to the week. Shame we couldn't get the star item on the friday but you can't be too greedy! Glad you got back okay Gordon and hope you're caught up on your sleep!
