WC-135W on approach

Post by PeterR » Wed Aug 11, 2021 10:20 am

61-2667 WC-135W on approach between the showers to Mildenhall on 5th August after a 10 1/2 hour flight over the Baltic Sea as JAKE21. It had been taking air samples as a Russian nuclear submarine had been reported having technical issues.

My other shot of 61-2667 was taken as it overflew Honington in 1990. At that time it was a WC-135B and assigned to the Mildenhall based 10 ACCS.
