SHUCK 82 drops into Mildenhall. 31st May 2014.

Post by billydog » Sat May 31, 2014 7:46 pm

Nice early morning wake up call for the residents of Mildenhall today, as a USAF E-3C arrived for a gas & go. Lovely airframe with proper engines under the wings. :thumbs:

Very nice Justin, shots 2 and 3 for me, both very sharp and the light on 3 is ideal!

Not sure about that mucky flap Andrew- could've been a last minute replacement i guess, or one the cleaning team forgot! :D

Thanks for the comments guys. :thumb:
