I'm still wading through last year's photos. These are from a very warm couple of days I spent at Mildenhall watching the 18 x F-16s visiting from Spangdahlem. There were also six Norwegian F-35s at Lakenheath.
6th - a misty start. This was the first aircraft that managed to land.

As the mist dispersed the F-16s taxied past the Folly Road viewpoint.

Two Norwegian F-35s diverted in from Lakenheath as the runway closed for a short time for recovery of an F-15 with a hydraulics problem.

7th - runway 10 in use, so the F-16s weren't taxying past Folly Road. However, I was pleased to catch this Illinois ANG KC-135 taking off.
