Transiting through Mildenhall whilst heading east on their first operational deployment were three 522nd SOS MC-130J Commando II's all the way from Cannon AFB, New Mexico. Sadly, one of them remaied on the ground due to technical issues. However, the light could'nt have been better for the two that did depart. Here are a few from the departure.

Very nice to see and a glimpse of the future at Mildenhall as the 67th SOS will be receiving there first MC-130J later this year.
Enjoy,
