Very nice set Mike,looks like it was pretty chilly at Mildenhall.I saw the C-130H coming in over Northern Ireland on ads and thought by the track he was heading for the Hall.Once again thanks for your great post.
Cheers.

Cold.

A different angle in number 12 against a very stormy backdrop.

From RAF Mildenhall :-
The darn Hundredth is flexing its muscles during this week's readiness exercise! Units worked together to accomplish a show of force maneuver, 12 KC-135 Stratotankers prepared for deployment at once, proving the wing’s readiness and ability to provide global air refueling support at a moment’s notice. The maneuver required extended planning and support hours, giving Airmen the opportunity to prove themselves to be professionals of the highest order.

Great pics Mike Interesting to see them when its not a perfect sunny day. Bet that cockpit was like a fridge
Just love that queue of '135s
It got interesting around here last night with the launch of 7 in to the various ARA

Thanks for posting

Really drawn to shot number four for some reason, very nice!

Nice piece of history getting them on the runway together. I suspect shots of all 12 together will emerge - taken from the cherry picker in shot 8.

Hi Michael

Cracking shots in dire weather

Well done you

Thanks for posting

Nice Mike, like that frosty ANG C130 :thumb
