A short hop from Colmar (LFSB) to Lakenheath on C-17

Hello!
This is my first ever military trip on FS. I used Mike Stone's C-17.
I flew northwards from France, crossing Luxembourg, Belgium and Netherlands. Soon after Amsterdam, we'll turn west to reach the UK.

Taxi to Rwy. 1. FL will be 360

Powerful takeoff!

Once in cruise, I took some time for spotting. This area is very rich in traffic

After having overflown Amsterdam and turned left, we start descending to 2000 feet...

... and land on Rwy. 24 at Lakenheath

An F-15 with drill bombs is taking off

Image

Alongside with the unavoidable Hercules, here are some B-1s from Dyess
Image

Taxi to parking, engines off, open the doors and back to study! I have an exam on Wednesday

Hope you liked it! The next one will feature Alphasim (now) freeware C.130!
Thanks and have a nice day!

Great pics, and not a bad panel for the freeware C-17. I do these types of trips when I can here in the US, just AI spotting as I go. Reminds me of how much work went into some of the packages, great to see "flights" of T-38's or a group of F-16's.
