A B-1B Lancer launching from RAF Fairford in some lovely English sunshine, and keeping it nice and low on departure.

This was the second jet out, and somehow even louder than the first… safe to say I was regretting not bringing ear protection pretty quickly!

A B-52 Stratofortress returning to RAF Fairford after a long mission, flying a controlled and slightly dramatic approach back into base.

As the foggy conditions began to clear, the Buff certainly made its presence known on final!

A pair of B-1B Lancers departing early morning on a mission last week. Don’t need an early morning alarm when these are around!

A F-15E Strike Eagle from the 492nd FS ‘Bolars’ departing RAF Lakenheath on an early morning training sortie in December 2025.

Little did I realise that just a month later, the squadron would deploy to the Middle East as part of a regional build-up.

A fantastic moment from the Royal Air Force Chinook Role Demonstration at the Royal International Air Tattoo 2024, held at RAF Fairford.

Performed by the RAF Odiham Chinook Display Team, this demonstration highlights the operational battlefield support capabilities of the Boeing CH-47 Chinook HC5. Seen here executing a rolling landing during the role demo — a brilliant display of precision handling, power, and control.

A mission-fit U-2 Dragon Lady departing RAF Fairford for circuit training, climbing away rapidly into the winter sunset.

You can see the pogo wheels drop away before lift off. Unfortunately, the departure is briefly blocked by that building - I’ll be sure to find a better angle next time 🤣

An incredible moment watching B-2 Spirit MYTEE25 taxi past the 09 crash gate at RAF Fairford. Three B-2 Spirits from the 509th Bomb Wing deployed to Fairford in 2019 as part of a Bomber Task Force Europe rotation, conducting training across the region.

12/01/2026

Four F-15E Strike Eagles from the 492nd “Bolars”, RAF Lakenheath, arriving back into Gando Air Base, Gran Canaria, at the end of Exercise Ocean Sky.

Despite the disappointing weather, the Eagles still put on a great show with a low run and break over the airfield to wrap up two weeks of flying.

Freezing cold and early on a Sunday morning at RAF Fairford, but well worth it.

Overnight, 11 C-17s arrived carrying special operations units and helicopters. In this clip you can see one C-17 taxiing out to depart, with five more still on the ground. Plus 160th SOAR helicopters, including MH-60Ms and MH-47Gs, tucked away in the hangars.

26/12/2025

An F-15E blasting off runway 23, with 14 more ready to go behind it. These Strike Eagles are from the 492nd “Bolars”, 48th Fighter Wing, heading out during the final days of flying for 2025 at RAF Lakenheath.

A U-2 Dragon Lady on final approach to RAF Fairford after training circuits. Not often you see a fully mission configured dragon lady doing circuits, nevermind landing flaps up. A rare sight to catch.
