Any idea the reason for the Finnish arriving(thinking F-18 visit on the cards). Not the first Finnish a/c to visit Lossie as a F27 paid a short visit in the mid 90's. Very nice visitor none the less.

Marshallers dressed in whites so assume VIP on board.
Rumours are of possible visit later on in the year with F-18's.
Would go well with the Swiss F-18's arriving too.

Nothing that interesting I'm afraid.
