At Mildenhall there was less activity because of the very strong crosswind. A few F-35’s flew overhead to land at EGUL as well as the 92-3288 that also landed at Lakenheath. One of the
KC-10’s departed, when i was at EGUL. 18.30 i was back at the Hall, just at the right moment
to catch the RC-135 that came in after another mission over east Europe. Some local Hercs flew in the late evening and an Osprey came in around 23.00. * = on platform.

Best regards, Tim
