Just a quick trip up there today, off work so not much better to do, just a few shots to share as it wasn't that busy! Any comments welcome.

Nice shots.. Have some good memories from a few rotations from Pope to Mildenhall back in the 80's...
I still hate those tankers for hogging the fuel hangers all the time when our Herk's needed them...

I thought that but they are SOOC, and my settings haven't been played with as far as i know, thanks though.

It's nice to go up there and see them flying about still, shame the Herc that came in was a K, there was one on circuits as I got there but I missed it!

That is one of Air Combat Commands OC-135's. The aircraft is an observation platform used in support of the open skies treaty.

Got into Mildenhall once or twice a long time ago. Beautiful area. I like the big gray building in the foreground of #2 . . . whoops, it has engines! Nice shots.
