RC135

I recall several years ago watching an RC135 making an approach to Honington when their runway was still maintained. The ILS was being checked that day by a Blue King Air and runway lights were on. I noticed said 135 on short finals and then applying rather a lot of power to line up on Mildenhall. I suppose it was a case of unfamiliarity, the guy not knowing tha Honington had to all intents and purposes closed for flying with the Reg present and it is slightly near to Mildy.
