Fangs for the memory

US Air Force Bombardier E-11A BACN 11-9001 streaks overhead at FL410 on her way to a stop-over in the Med

 

Out of Bradley ANG base in Conneticut she was using call-sign 'Fang 14'

 

Similar to our recently retired (and sold) RAF Sentinel R.1 fleet, the E-11A is based on the Global Express airframe. She's one of a handful operated by the 430th Expeditionary Electronic Combat Squadron and was very active during the War in Afghanistan. BACN stands for Battlefield Airborne Communications Node

 

Last time I saw her was after dark at Mildenhall back in 2012
