U-28A's and Herky's @ Mildenhall 04/03/17

Post by dinger » Sat Mar 04, 2017 8:01 pm

A week later than expected, but better late than never. 3 x 319th SOS U-28A's finally arrived at Mildenhall last night and thankfully after a bit of waiting, they departed just after lunchtime. Other movements included a USMC KC-130J departing and possibly the last Niagra Falls C-130H visit prior to the unit receiving KC-135's.

Nice sharp pics considering the distance from the fence and no haze.

You can see the last four of the serial by the canopy.
