Busy day for the USAF, weather not great for the 494th deployment but the day improved and turned out quite warm by the mid afternoon. Great day with the GRS lads as usual and to the guys who couldn't make it today, we missed you and hope you get better soon Pete.
The curse of the "Black Pearl" (fish and chips) struck again in more ways than one. At least James can run if us oldies can't
Hope you enjoy some of the content of the photos from the day at both Lakenheath and Mildenhall.
Thanks to Mildenhall ATS for fixing my Tyre this morning, after not the best start to a spotting day! Much appreciated.

Very nice

I really like 70036 with the nose up , not that often you get a chance to photo that. taken from the Warren gate?

Very nice seta good variety and in fine weather.
Cheers.

All very nice but that last one does it for me; excellent angle.

Great shots from a busy day - lovely markings on some of those SJ Eagles.

Mike, to the far left hand side of that gate, contrary to expectations the freight did not include any Pavehawks, while we were there.

Great shots !!

Really good set, well done.
Dave.

Thanks for the comments. I've added some shots including some crop shots of the nose art. The 4 OG is a tribute to the Tuskagee airmen
