A Tucano was in the circuit at Blackpool about 6 pm (ish) tonight Showing on ADSB as ZF171.

I tried posting that an hour ago but FC showed Error 504 in response!

I think the ILS at Blackpool is only available using rwy 28 not rwy 10.

Nice for The Gate anyhow makes a change to the trainee overseas pilots etc in their tucanos.
Lets hope the apache pilots weren't wearing their image intensifiers whilst routeing off the prom during the Lumies...I have their unit as 3 Regt at Wattisham anyhow.

Cheers

Any news on whether the Apache will depart today? Currently working in Liverpool and hoping to spot it if it heads down the coast.
