LIVE USAF HEAVYWEIGHT ACTION KC-135 STRATOTANKER AND MC-130J • RAF MILDENHALL 30.10.26

Live from RAF Mildenhall, home to the 100th Air Refeuling wing. It is very similar to Brize Norton, with the exception of the very futuristic looking CV-22 Osprey, which is part of the 352d Special Operations Wing (352 SOW) and the RC-135 Rivet Joint of the 95th Reconnaissance Squadron. 00:02:11 RC-135 take-off, but hardly visible due to fog 00:20:24 Emergency proceedings explained 00:23:15 Nook campsite 00:24:33 CV-22 – capabilities 00:28:14 RAF Mildenhall – history 00:44:05 Original hangars 00:59:30 MC-130J take-off 01:02:18 KC-135 – rundown 01:12:15 KC-135 take-off 01:41:23 Why burning/dumping fuel? 01:42:05 Aircraft designations + model numbers 01:54:53 Dumping fuel vs. burning fuel 01:59:01 UK QRA stations in a nutshell 02:12:19 KC-135 with an issue landing 02:38:44 - being towed from the runway 02:48:30 KC-135 doing circuits(40 min) 02:52:30 'The option' explained 03:13:23 KC-135 landing 03:23:01 Shallow beam approach explained 03:32:12 KC-135 landing 03:38:21 Outro Don't forget to download your Brize Bingo Cards! https://tedconingsby.co.uk/brize-bingo/ The 352nd Wing serves as the focal point for all U.S. Air Force special operations activities throughout the European theater for U.S. European Command (USEUCOM), as well as Africa for U.S. Africa Command (USAFRICOM) and Southwest Asia and the Middle East for U.S. Central Command. The wing is prepared to conduct a variety of high priority, low-visibility missions supporting U.S. and allied special operations forces during peacetime, joint operations exercises, and combat operations. It trains and performs special operations primarily in the USEUCOM and USAFRICOM area of operations, including establishing air assault landing zones, controlling close air support by strike aircraft and gunships, and providing trauma care for wounded and injured personnel. The 100th Air Refueling Wing is RAF Mildenhall's current host wing and the only permanent U.S. air refueling wing in the European theatre, activated here on February 1, 1992. The wing provides the critical air refueling "bridge" that allows the Expeditionary Air Force to deploy around the globe on a moment's notice. The Bloody Hundredth is comprised of the 100th Maintenance Group, the 100th Mission Support Group, and the 100th Operations Group. KC-135 STRATOTANKER The KC-135 Stratotanker provides the core aerial refueling capability for the United States Air Force and has excelled in this role for more than 60 years. This unique asset enhances the Air Force's capability to accomplish its primary mission of global reach. It also provides aerial refueling support to Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and allied nation aircraft. The KC-135 is also capable of transporting litter and ambulatory patients using patient support pallets during aeromedical evacuations. #rafmildenhall #runway #KC135 #MILDENHALL #trending #tedconingsby Official Ted Coningsby Merchandise https://tedconingsby.co.uk/shop/ Become part of our TED CONINGSBY REGIMENT (TCR) - Patreon   / membership   Instagram   / ted_coningsby   Facebook   / tedconingsbyuk   X https://X.com/tedconingsby Official Website www.tedconingsby.co.uk Ted Coningsby Membership: Join our channel to get access to members only perks.
