January 2016 - Lakenheath and Mildenhall

Post by CH79 »

Hello,

This is my first post of the year. It's a collection of photographs (in no particular order) taken in January at my local bases of RAF Lakenheath and Mildenhall. Some nice movement, let's hope it continues throughout the year :)

Probably one of if not the best sets of pics I've seen on this site....outstanding photo's, I'm a huge fan of the LN Eagles!

For me though that KC-10 in shot 9 is the real winner of this set, and shot 22 is pretty special too.

Fantastic set of photo's all round.

Every one is a belter.

What an outstanding collection!

Given how common photos of F-15s are here, it takes something truly special to stand out and these have whatever it is in bucketloads!

Thanks for the views, cool comments and general response - very positive and very much appreciated!

Its always worth getting up early and trying out a few different locations to the norm - it can add a bit of variety if you get lucky.

Lets see how February goes. Happy shooting :)
Cheers,
Chris

Superbly shot and processed.
