AC-130 Gunship @ Mildenhall 30/04/22

I managed to get to Mildenhall today to see the departure of one of the AC-130 Gunships that arrived yesterday at the base.

I gather the other AC-130 may have had a cracked windscreen, and so was left on the tarmac.

Also, nice to see the RC-135 use the under-run.

Nice stuff, Tim. Couple of the Staffers were mentioning this when we saw it on ADSB. Glad someone caught it!

Cheers Tommy, yeah quite a few people on John's field waiting for its departure, good to see it in decent light

Christ, when you see it up close - you really wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that would you!
