Quick Shots

Caught a few nice examples of the diverse aircraft action appearing at Mildenhall lately:


FedEx MD-11 arriving, best stretch of weather for the afternoon as this one came in.


Good old Tennessee ANG Herc departing, nice propwash if you squint through the bright sky.


A nice lineup of heavies: Kalitta Air 747-100, FecEx MD-11 anf a USAF C-5A Galaxy.

Getting a little long in the tooth is a Kalitta Air 747-100 cargo hauler. Callsign "Connie" after the owner Connie Kalitta (yes, the drag racer guy). Fantastic to see this one at the 'Hall, I imagine there's a few hours on this airframe.
