A visit to RAF Lakenheath & Mildenhall

Post by Tetzaoh » Thu Feb 13, 2025 11:37 pm

My first visit to Lakenheath was planned to see my first QCF, but it also coincided with Cobra Warrior so we also headed to Mildenhall for a few hours on one of the days!

Lovely set but those F16, taking off shots are something else, they're stunning.
