It looks like air to air, but its only a very fast and low departure from Rwy 27. Sadly lost when it crashed into the North Sea on Monday 15th June 2020 with the loss of its pilot, 1st Lt. Kenneth Allen. RIP.

USAF WC-135W was originally produced as C-135B, converted to WC-135B and later upgraded to WC-135W as we see today. This aircraft initially has same equipment as RC135 V/W, though additionally installed with an on-board atmospheric collection suite, allowing mission crew to detect radioactive debris 'clouds' in real time. The last of its kind, destined to be retired over the next six to twelve months, dependant on world peace status.
