I only kept this photo as the length of Mildenhall's runway is 9221'x200', this KC135 was at the far end burning rubber, these aircraft are only a tanker conversion of the Boeing 707 and still scheduled to be in service way past 2020, there is a snag with all 707's'135's in as much as the two inner engines are quite a bit lower than the outers, in a cross wind these engines can hit the ground with a wing lifting, I recall speaking to an engineer about this

This pic taken from nearly 2 miles away on touch down through a wire fence and heat haze
