Apologies for the confusion with my reply. The aircraft in question is indeed 08-8606 which now sports the Little Rock band as seen at Mildenhall this week. I have amended my original reply.

08-8606 now sports a white 'The Rock' fin band. Images of her departure are on social media.

Back in April, I paid this cracking Museum a visit. Well worth it if you are ever passing through Charleston. https://c2.staticflickr.com/1/365/31797033761_f98e9e6b91_o.jpg A-4L 149623 USS Yorktown Museum by Kevin Bell , on Flickr https://c3.staticflickr.com/1/608/31766062722_12fd627644_o.jpg A-6E 1...

This was my first visit to Nellis and it will not be my last. Had an excellent day positioned at the Speedway with the only frustration being that most of the arrivals broke left rather than the more photogenic arrival of breaking right. A huge learning curve and a very enjoyable first visit with th...

A few hours spent at the Missile Park returned these results from a relatively slow day. https://c8.staticflickr.com/1/395/31557316295_74f376a79c_o.jpg KC-135R 62-3545 NAS Point Mugu by Kevin Bell , on Flickr https://c4.staticflickr.com/1/561/31441604011_456b0c4f36_o.jpg KC-130T 163023 NAS Point Mug...

This very nice P-8A arrived at Coningsby this morning to take part in the annual Air Combat Power Visit. As it was local to me, I decided to have a trip over to see if it was photographable. Thankfully, it was. https://c5.staticflickr.com/6/5502/30429279812_6074c7f0bc_o.jpg P-8A 168434 RAF Coningsby...

Caught departing Stansted today after a night stop was this rare C-40B, 01-0015 of the 65th Airlift Squadron, 15th Airlift Wing, home based at Hickam Hawaii. Conditions were not ideal but the rarity of the subject made the trip worthwhile. https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8139/30308485856_d4d6dc6e1a_o....

The SD F-16's were arriving from Lask, Poland where they had been on exercise. They departed for home the following day.

It was well worth the trip down to bag this little lot arriving in perfect light.

I spent an enjoyable morning on the approach at Oceana back in April. Sadly, only the one colour bird flew during my brief visit. https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8435/28850249360_b4ebd5b2c7_o.jpg FA-18F 166467 NAS Oceana by Kevin Bell , on Flickr https://c2.staticflickr.com/9/8401/28518905273_6c125aca...

Souda Bay is where the Mountain Home F15s arrived from.

Dinger.

Very nice! Interesting / strange to see only 1 raptor had external tanks.... Oz The first 4 F-22A's that arrived as part of the exercise did so without external tanks. The next two waves of 4 all had external tanks fitted. When they all departed, 3 went minus external tanks. I think the first 4 arr...

Noted at lunchtime. 2 x 95th FS 'Boneheads' F-22A's departed as TABOR 33 flight for their return home, however TABOR 34 developed an ECS problem and they returned back for repairs.
