Confliction
In the twilight of their service, US Air Force Reserve Command's Lockheed C-141B Starlifter 66-0134 departs RAF Mildenhall just days before the outbreak of the 2nd Gulf War
In the background, an F-15 Eagle from the 48thFW at nearby RAF Lakenheath turns base leg to recover there
Quite often when on Easterly landings and when Mildenhall is less busy, F-15's will directly overfly on long finals for Lakenheath which is located only some 5 miles to the North
Intriguingly the main Runway headings conflict with Mildenhall on 11/29 and Lakenheath on 06/24
The 'Lifter' was with the 445th AW at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio
