| RAF MILDENHALL, SUFFOLK - AIR FETE 2001, 26TH MAY |
|
| USAF Lockheed C-5A Galaxy This is a large US Air Force transport aircraft which brought in the burgers and beers for the show days. Note the lack of spectators (I timed this one just right!). |
 |
| US Navy Boeing E-6B Mercury This aircraft, in its rather fetching overall white colour scheme is used as a communications relay aircraft for nuclear submarines Note presence of spectators in large amounts. They are a pain in the backside, but you can't have everything your own way! |
| USAF Douglas C-9 Nightingale This military version of the civilian DC-9 is used for the aeromedical evacuation role, ferrying injured personnel from facility to facility. Note once again the absence of spectators, which required a wait of around 10 minutes. |
 |
| USAF Boeing C-17 Globemaster III This large transport aircraft is the replacement for the C141 Starlifter shown below. The aircraft has also recently entered service with the RAF. This photo was taken during the flying display, as the aircraft taxied to its takeoff point. |
 |
| USAF Lockheed C-141 Starlifter This aircraft was once the backbone of the USAF heavy lifter fleet. The fleet is currently in the process of being retired. Apologies for the poor quality of the photo, it was taken on the premise that 'any photo is better than no photo''. |
