Title: First Real Pics
Post by: George on October 31, 2009, 10:06:04 PM

Hey guys , Been away all week with the ATC to RAF Lyneham. Great time, got gliding and what not. But more importantly on thursday got a 5 hour refueling flight in a Tristar, absoluly amazing. Also a c17 flight on Fri, unfortunatly no pics as they were testing new 'trail' equipment .

Some pics:-

A flight in a Tristar!!! Very jealous! And all those mid air encounters during refueling, fantastic stuff. Thanks for sharing the shots with us.

Were you over there for a week?

Ahh Nice one. Do you happen to know a red haired guy called David M (can't spell his last name), I think he might be a supervisor in the Air Cadets?

I think he's with the Air cadets at Sunnyside Street, I don't know the squadron number. I had to cover for his shifts at work last week as he was off galavanting with the Air Cadets in the UK, now I know what he was up to!  :)
