Lakenheath & Mildenhall Todays Action

Post by Tim Holden » Thu Apr 20, 2017 8:18 pm

Great to see some familiar faces at Lakenheath and Mildenhall today. The weather was a bit grey but the action was awesome. Lightnings and Raptors galore!

A nice set of photos. I wonder if the F-22 retains any significant "stealth" characteristics with the underwing fuel tanks on?

Great pics! Have to agree with paddyboy that the C-5 & RC-135 top the list :thumb:.

With all these fancy hi-tec newly fandangled jets flying about, its about time they used these modern advances in technology to build us a time machine :lol: .
