Buffs at Fairford-25th January 2018

Post by bigcrow »

Spent a superb day at Fairford last Thursday in some lovely winter light to take in the Buff's which are currently deployed for Exercise "Sovereign Skies".

Four B-52H's from the 5th BW based at Minot AFB are over in the UK to conduct theatre integration & training in Europe.

Some truly magnificent shots here Stu, fabulous light and super sharp.

Without doubt the best from the deployment, surprised there haven't been more comments. :up: :clap: :clap:
