Early morning arrival to RWY 28 for RC-135U 64-14849 meant the light was a bit tail-on. Between that and choosing a bad spot with lots of the tree tops in the frame, I came away with nothing more than a record shot sadly. Hope to see it again over John's field one day.
Then over to join the crowds at Lakenheath. Seemed a quiet day by what I've seen in the recent daily threads, but there was an excellent half hour as everything came back to base at once and the circuit was full.
I'm starting to really like the F-35s, they're very entertaining to watch.
The visiting F-16s recovering from their morning sorties. Glad to bag the two 'Have Glass' schemes as last time they were here the one they brought didn't fly on the day I visited. Some of those in the older paint have a very raggedy appearance.
89-0505 from Seymour Johnson AFB made an appearance early afternoon after being repaired in Greece.
Always nice to see the F-15Cs still soldiering on despite their depleted numbers - the same pair flew AM and PM. The size comparison to an F-16 is quite something.
And finally back to Mildenhall for JAKE 11H. The light was much better than it had been in the morning, though I'm still not thrilled with the shots I took. At least I have photographed one now, but plenty of room for improvement.
If you made it this far, thanks for looking.
