RAF Mildenhall Gold | Osprey, F-15s, F-16s & Tankers

Mildenhall Gold brings together military aircraft footage and photo highlights from RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk. From the distinctive Osprey and a special-operations Chinook to Stratotankers, fighters and Hercules transports, this collection celebrates the variety that makes Mildenhall such a rewarding place for aircraft spotting. The aircraft represented include: V-22 Osprey tiltrotor. KC-135 Stratotanker. F-15 Eagle and F-16 Fighting Falcon. MC-130J Commando II and C-130J Hercules-family transports. An MH-47-type special-operations Chinook. RC-135U Combat Sent, including a close photographic view of shark-mouthed aircraft 64-14847. RAF Mildenhall is home to the 100th Air Refueling Wing and its KC-135 Stratotankers. The base also hosts the 352nd Special Operations Wing, which operates the MC-130J Commando II and CV-22B Osprey. The footage features both familiar Mildenhall aircraft and visiting types; it is a collection of recorded moments rather than a current airfield inventory. A particular highlight in the photographs is the RC-135U Combat Sent. This specialised reconnaissance aircraft gathers information about radar signals. It belongs to the wider RC-135 family but is a different variant from the Rivet Joint. The Chinook's long refuelling probe and special-operations equipment also distinguish it from a standard transport Chinook.
