F22s Depart Mildenhall! 12.9.15

[Tinker Toy]

Hello all,

Spent a fantastic morning at Mildenhall to watch the Raptors depart! The first time I have seen F22's in the flesh and they did not disappoint. All taken from John's Field.

The tankers departed straight after the Raptors and the C17 arrived just as they started up their engines.

I hope you enjoy the photos from a great morning!

Thank you, that is the one shot I really wanted to get! The F-22 is a beautiful jet but something else head on!

Hi Ben

Looks like you made the right decision with the 7D, and made best use of it, cracking set
John's field was a bit busy wasn't it...

Very nice, I would put mine on but they're too good to share without a watermark lol

Great shots Ben, many thanks for sharing. I was gutted I couldn't get down there, but after seeing your clear & detailed
shots I can clearly see what I missed - well done

Cheers

It was very busy, a lot of happy people though, a great view of the F22's!

Thank you, I need to get around to creating my own watermark!
