Currently there’s a deployment going on with 6! B-52’s at RAF Fairford in the U.K. They’re from the 2nd Bomber Wing from Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana, U.S. So we travelled from The Netherlands to the U.K. to go and see them. We were there on Wednesday 20/03 when 3 B-52’s flew a mission and Thursday 21/03 when only 1 took to the sky. We also visited EGVN or RAF Brize Norton which is only a 20 minute drive from there…
Below are some of my pics. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do…

That B-52 is a monster. I get to see them once a year when my AFB holds an air show. The landing gear is really interesting. It can turn on the ground really tight.
