A mighty B-52H screams back into RAF Fairford after another 7 hour mission under the call sign BUFF01.
This airframe is 61-0020 from the 20th BS at Barksdale AB in Louisiana.
I thought I’d shoot the bomber launches and recoveries in slow motion for this sortie to try something different.
This aircraft was taking part in Ample Strike 2017 in the Czech Republic. The jet is from the 307th Bomb Wing based out of Barksdale AFB in Louisiana.

We were treated to a single pass from this RAF Boeing CH-47 Chinook through Cad on 20th August 2017. Check out that blade slap!
We had two unbelievable passes of the Boeing C-17 Globemaster III through the Mach Loop in Wales on July 7th. I’ve seen some sights through here, but this was a special one.
This is the biggest aircraft ever to do the loop, a record that will be hard to beat. This particular aircraft is from Charleston AFB in South Carolina.
Just after 6am on a chilly summers morning, the regular dawn chorus of rural Gloucestershire was accompanied by the sound of 8 × Pratt & Whitney TF33s powering this mighty B-52 Stratofortress (60-0002 callsign BUFF01) out to another Baltops mission somewhere out in the Baltic Sea.
This aircraft comes from the 2nd BW United States Air Force at Barksdale AFB in Louisiana.
These two jets screamed their way into RAF Fairford on June 1st 2017 under the callsigns MYTEE96 and MYTEE51. They were indeed mighty! 96 arrived from the Middle East, while 51 made its way to the UK from the United States via Northern Europe.
A B-52H (60-0038) from the 307th Bomb Wing, 93rd Bomb Squadron from Barksdale, LA, lands back into RAF Fairford from a familiarisation flight as part of Ample Strike 2016 under the call sign SCALP99.
On the return from operations over the Baltic, ICER11 and ICER12 make a return from their first Sabre Strike mission of 2015.
These two examples were from Minot AFB in North Dakota 60-047 and 60-018.

This footage is sitting inside one of my earlier RIAT videos but I thought it was time to bring it out from hiding!
