I was the crew chief on a C-130E Hercules at that air show at RAF Mildenhall. You missed our picture. I miss flying those rotations from Pope AFB, NC.

[SSCFPA]

Thanks for the reminder of just what great airshows were held at Mildenhall in the 1980's.

The aircraft, the flying, all the bar-b-q's and cold beers!

[birdman143]

Well I identified the second photo by the EB on the tail; the book said it was an F3 ZE832 but it looks like a GR.Regards Ken

[BTTOLDSKOOL]

Forgive me if im wrong is there a mistake with the Tornados, I see F 3 and GR1?

[BTTOLDSKOOL]

Classic days Classic song.

[ASFMG2]

[birdman143]

Its Wonderful Land played by the Shadows a big hit in the sixties..Regards

[ArmyBoy015]

[Usafkyle]

[birdman143]

Thanks for your comment sorry I missed that one.Regards

[jamesstubbins]

Let's get the Mildenhall Air Show back. Please go to Facebook and in the search part on there type 'Bring back the RAF Mildenhall Air Fete'! This is a group to try and get it back, thank you!

[NAIAD49]

Total 100% agree......Bring It Back.

This brought back many memories.

Me and my mates did Mildenhall from the

mid 80's till very the end.

Fear of terrorism killed it in my opinion.

I miss the old days.

[elswick1542]

Ah the good old days,remember XH558 out flying the B52 about 1990 eating 7 A10 murder burgers and trying to work out if Bud or Miller got the prize for the beer most close to cat piss,HAPPY DAYS!

[NAIAD49]

If it's the A10 murder burgers it was 1991

just after the Gulf War......never drank much of the cats piss........drink driving and all that.

[elswick1542]

Probably for the best my old cock,best stick to the Polish sausage!

[lexeilexei]

Great video

What is the name of the Music track that is playing?

[birdman143]

Im glad you enjoyed the video;the music is Wonderful Land which was a big hit for The Shadows way back.

[sticky2k]

Hi, ZE832 is indeed an F3, the picture however is a GR1.

[birdman143]

Thanks for pointing that out,the Tornado serial should be ZA448 of 15 Sqn.I cant change the video but I will put a correction in the info section.Regards

[rshfn44]

I was there! stationed at Lakenheath,84-86

[birdman143]

I hope you enjoyed your time in England and that the video brought back some good memories.Best wishes.

[anarchyx991]

[MetalMatt2510]

I went to Mildenhall about 1997 when i was in the aircadets. I loved seeing the F117A Nighthawk and B2 stealth planes flying, i would love to see a SR71.

[birdman143]

I never did see those stealth planes as I moved to Spain but it was great to see the Blackbird in action.

[dandantheminiman]

its always good to go to duxford! love it there and always so much to see to.

[lightning1975]

Ahhh Mildenhall. The golden age of the British Airshow. Sadly no more. Great vid and thanks for the memories.

[birdman143]

I am pleased you enjoyed the video,I dont know if you have seen them but I have also posted similar ones for the Alconbury and Wyton shows.Its a pity all we have left are the photos and the memories.

[rockinroy555]

More fine work! Another airshow consigned to history... check out my clips on YT under various names...

[birdman143]

Thanks a lot for looking at my videos and sending your comments on the 3 air shows.I have been in Spain for 15 yrs and a lot has changed.Some of my old favorites have been destroyed in crashes like the Mosquito.Now I do my spotting at Alicante airport but even that has been ruined by the high number of low cost airlines.I will check out your shots on YT.Best Regards

[rockinroy555]

I should have said do a search for 'royzee'. Also check me out on Veoh and Live Video.

[cereu]

Thanks for looking at my video and sending the comment,I also have similar ones for Alconbury and Wyton air shows if you would like to see them,Best Regards
