Hercules and Ospreys today
I dont know wether any of our transatlantic friends read this, but the formation near Frinton on Sea today was wonderful to see and its cause brought a lump to my throat..
Well done! |
Great video here getting airborne from RAF Mildenhall and forming up:
|
Thank You! |
That is very impressive.
Lovely blue note. |
Indeed impressive. Well done, USAF.
|
That is very impressive; a great flypast. Good show.
Far prefer that one-package flypast from a spectator pov as opposed to those where they come in elements (often comprising a singleton) seemingly ages apart although I do understand why sometimes the latter approach has to be adopted. |

Not the best shot as heat haze, wrong lens etc, but this was them passing overhead Duxford on Sunday

What an awesome flypast! Well done guys!!
|
The AFSOC Instagram feed has a very good video of them in formation. |
Superb, what a great tribute to all those brave men who lost their lives 75 years ago - well done Mildenhall!
|
A fabulous effort indeed from the USAF. It’s just a shame there were no T2s in there! |
Did the RAF do anything similar to the USAF re D-Day festivities?
|
Yes........ But sadly it was about 75 years ago they did it. |
That’s twice this year that USAFE have put on very poignant and respectful flypasts. Somebody high up has got great appreciation and a marvellous sense of occasion. Thank you guys and gals, thank you Sir or Ma’am. Be lucky David P.S. As a point of curious can the Osprey take off conventionally if required or is the prop diameter prohibitive ? |

Many thanks for your prompt courteous replies to my OT question. Be lucky David |
I did ask at Farnborough one year (as they are carbon fibre) what would happen if they couldn't rotate to the vertical and they replied they would end up with lumps of carbon fibre string hanging from the rotor hubs.
