Cornwall, the town in the bottom right is Newquay. You can just see some bits of the former RAF St Mawgan to the north. ;)

Not having a go, but a clue to the location was in the text - "....performed air refueling with a KC-135 Stratotanker from RAF Mildenhall, England over Cornwall, England, June 11, 2014." ;)
