UPDATED - USAF 73rd Birthday Bash @ RAF Mildenhall

Post by Airwolfhound »

A small flypast was put on at RAF Mildenhall on Friday 18th September in relation to the 73rd Birthday of the USAF and 80th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain.

Photos were taken from The Nook spotting area. Quite a few people were there, enjoyed the banter :-)

Great shots, interesting to see an RAF crest on the fin of the KC135 (and what look like other smaller ones at the tip). Do you have a close up?

Small the flypast it may have been, but what a fab collection of types. A very nice set of images from you, Tim. Also had a look at your Flickr page; some very nice nature images in there, too.
Cheers,
