Cobra, Moose and Sam. Mildenhall 11/12/14.
I was greeted with a hail/sleet storm when i opened the curtains this morning, but with an RC-135S 'Cobra Ball' on the deck at Mildenhall and the C32 'SAM 745' due to depart, i dragged myself over to the local for a couple of hours.
Glad i made the effort, as the storm passed just as i arrived and the sun burst through, just long enough to light up the C32 and a following C17 'Moose' departures.
Sadly the Cobra didn't get the same treatment, but still great to have these amazing aircraft passing through.

What a post, the first one looks superb low down, with great lighting, and the Tornado ones are so sharp, but the highlight has got to be the Cobra Ball, fantastic in any weather
Re: Cobra, Moose and Sam. Mildenhall 11/12/14.
Cracking set as always Justin, The light looks great on the C32 and the first C17, and you got 007 too
The last time I saw an F22 at Lakenheath i DIDN'T photoshop it...

How crisp what a set
Re: Cobra, Moose and Sam. Mildenhall 11/12/14.
Those first 5 show up really well Justin, in light that just couldn't be bettered. The silver lining for cold and bad weather ,is that once in a lifetime glow you get in relflection,from the light in Winter,when the sun decides to pop and the picture in the viewfinder looks real good..
Oh the games people play now
Re: Cobra, Moose and Sam. Mildenhall 11/12/14.
I'm green with envy!!! Would love to have had the chance to shoot the Cobra Ball. The C-32 also looks super in that lovely early morning light. Thanks for sharing these - top work.

Lovely set The C32 was a bit distant when he crossed the Humber Estuary northbound just after 9, and the 'Cobra Ball' hooked up to 'QID84' were just lost in the 7/8 cloud as they passed
Thanks very much for posting
