ILS approach into Mildenhall

[@matthaxx7137]

@2:40 you passed over my house. I love watching you guys . Thanks for posting.

I was stationed at RAF Chicksands from 92-94.....we would make "food runs" to Mildenhall for Popeyes chicken....(it was a distance) but our CO approved, moral purposes

Last time landing there was 1977. We had checkered board tails on our KC-135A’s back then, 1-year later SAC made us remove them. The best Fish and Chips...

Nice landing! Congrats!

[@TS-ev1bl]

Just your typical 60 year old-plus aircraft making it look easy

[@mhardin11]

Nice, making it look easy!

[@stevenhuckaby2902]

Excellent right seat manual landing, a sign of a high time pilot

[@teleguy5699]

"Pretty sure I can take him out." Air Force baby!

[@Jensonjhbodybuilding]

Wow wow amazing

[@johnmoss8230]

Always great to see a lady in the left seat safe flights for you guys with those old airframes. Probably much better than the Pegasus

[@tm8473]

there's a specific reason for turning the control column to the right after touchdown?

[@bigred9265]

Crosswind control after touchdown. If you let the controls out as soon as you touchdown it’s possible to strike an engine on the ground.

[@Braindead154]

Is it true that Mildenhall has really bad crosswinds?

[@bigred9265]

Yup. Almost always a crosswind and often they are quite strong (15-20mph or more)

[@cmscms123456]

Does England even have a military anymore?

[@mlwise24]

Rt seat Lt Col fighting the acft?

[@cq7562]

He's a Major

[@mlwise24]

@@cq7562 You are right. I stand corrected.

[@sailorman8668]

In what way was he 'fighting the acft'?

[@teleguy5699]

Tankers need that much tweaking on landings. Best jet ever.

NOT a Navy landing! ;)
