Re: JAKE 11 RC-135W option to tower !!!
for us unfamiliar, I assume this is a late take off, and the usual pics would be of a flight much higher?

WOW, cracking images,
If you can keep your head whilst all around are losing theirs, you have probably completely misread the situation!!

Reminds me of 00357 an RC 135D who took a piece of fir tree to Alaska with him after a very late rotation.

180 degree tailwind component????
Re: JAKE 11 RC-135W option to tower !!!
Fantastic pictures.
I’ve heard ‘the option’ mentioned on the radio many times at Mildenhall. What does it actually mean?

Re: JAKE 11 RC-135W option to tower !!!
I believe it's an 'Option' for the A/c Commander to initiate the cleared "Low Approach" or "Touch & Go" (aka...Roller!) or indeed execute a "Full-Stop Landing" ? Confirmation welcome please.
Re: JAKE 11 RC-135W option to tower !!!
Spot on, judging by the windsock. A hefty tailwind by the looks of things
Re: JAKE 11 RC-135W option to tower !!!
Exactly this. It's an Americanism basically to say "do what you want and let me know"
The correct response to "ABC123, cleared for the option" should be "touch and go, ABC123" or "cleared to land, ABC123", etc
Re: JAKE 11 RC-135W option to tower !!!
Thanks for the comments chaps. Winds given were 110 at 9knts, strange why he asked for the 28 approaches when they were on 11 at the time. After he landed they switched to 28 .lol
