Hello all,
Went to Mildenhall again yesterday. It was fairly busy, and the weather was great, although a little windy. There were a few Ukarians there, I'm sure and it was good to meet Viking 9 yesterday. Here are the shots:
A nice early visitor as the sun was rising:
Had to be quick to get out the car and catch these two as they came round from Lakenheath:
I wouldn't normally post a shot of the residents, but I kinda liked this one:
Just after lunch, this visitor turned up. Shame it didn't come nearer, and this was the best shot I could get:
Two Dover C-17s together:
The sun going down made for some nice lighting:
I'd hoped to catch the WB-57, but it wasn't to be. It doesn't look like I'll be able to see it this time round!
Cheers for looking
Comments always welcome
Rob

Re: Mildenhall 21st October
Some of the best shots I’ve seen from Mildenhall for sometime
Wish I hadn’t had that lay-in now!!
I was there for a couple of hours from 10ish, in the silver mini.

Light on the first C17 is lovely, like that KC-135 banking and the last two Herc shots.

The based tanker and the second Herc shot are the tops
Re: Mildenhall 21st October
Great stuff - banking KC looks superb. Do you by any chance have a close up of the nose art on the AWACS?

First time I've seen noseart on an E-3 - looking very nice indeed.
Great selection from a superb day

Cheers for your comments!
Suffolk blue - I think you were parked behind me. I was in the Clio next to the trailer. If I'd have known it was a fellow Ukarian I would have said hello!
Awacsfan - I didn't get a close up shot of the nose I'm afraid, but it was unusual to see noseart on an AWACS!
It was a good day for photography, not just of the aircraft. I took a shot of a local Kestrel whilst waiting for a departure: http://forums.airshows.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=2477

Re: Mildenhall 21st October
Wonderful shots! I'm glad you posted the resident as well because it's very nice and different from the usual tankershots.
