Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

I would say shape is the same :wink: but very nice catch! Good to see that they are not pulling every squadron out of Europe but also replenish some with new aircraft!

As what? a normal C130J or a MC130P/H?

Thanks Everyone exciting times to be living in Mildenhall.

I am sure some locals won't be saying that after the TDY of the CV-22's in 2011 the base was inundated with noise complaints :evil:

Hopefully the first CV-22's will arrive this week.
