We had Maryland's 104th FS up here this fall playing up in our MOA for a few days. Was so nice to hear those engines again.

whole lot of UGLY coming at you...


waving for the cameras




Had to have tanker support

caught the Italian Typhoons, 2 767's (new KC-46) and 2 Italian Hercs come in last Sat. Haven't edited many shots yet, just these few. Terrible lighting when landing this way, hard to get a good vantage point with the sun behind you..

First group of 4 on the overhead break


Not sure if he's waving or actually slowing down...


short of touchdown

oh really? We heard the pilot talking to some couple along the fence that they're coming back after RF. Nice article about the process they went through to make it happen. Now only if they'd use their AB's like the RAF does thumbsup

Very happy to hear they'll be some more visits from the Italians. woot

Markings and fuselage numbering is clearly from our other base (Gioia del Colle) so I do not work there, but I've been there and we have EFA Drivers coming from all bases to train so- highly likely.

I'm always curious about Reheat usage.
Despite the huge cost in fuel it's a nice thing to happen to watch...

she had to declare an IFE because the RHT drogue wouldn't pull back in. Nothing like 70ft of hose hanging off your wing


support Herc inbound.

thanks Ken, I'm always harassing the guys I shoot with about stopped props, HUGE peeve of mine along with slanted horizons... I'd rather throw out 80% of my shots for a few keepers and a nice disk. This was at 1/100.

493rd FS from Lakenheath came in, 14 birds total. They came in just after a late season snowfall so the bellies were lit up nice and bright from the snow on the ground.

first shot is Reaper flight

next shot is Reaper lead, notice the 2 kill markings

Hitman 21 flight overhead

Had this one bird that had issues all week, even when they departed back to Lakenheath, they had to divert back to Barnes which is an Eagle base.

Great stuff! I grew up on Pease AFB as a SAC brat. My old man was an FB-111 pilot and was the last squadron commander there before it closed. Went to school in Rye and Portsmouth and we still have a home near Wallis Sands beach.

Love that place. A lot of your pics are taken from the same places I used to watch from all day long or while performing SOF duty with my dad.

Keep em coming!
