Good stuff. How long is the runway at Lakenheath?

Yes, that head on 747 is an absolute belter! Beautifully composed.

I'm just wondering though, was there a time when most or all of these would have been C-5's and C141's and the like? I assume that even the US are busy privatising elements of their military too.
