Army Helicopter/ Defender Aircraft Visits?

Post by Unknown74 » Wed Apr 19, 2017 5:38 am

Hi guys, just thought I would ask this just out of interest, do Leuchars get a lot of Army Helicopters or Defender Aircraft visits seeing as Leuchars are now an Army Base?

For some reason I always thought they may have based one or two to support the Dragoons etc. Wishful thinking I suppose.

Have you ever thought what it actually takes to deploy aircraft and the logistics involved. ?
Was it not yourself that suggested that two Typhoons be based at Glasgow for the last "Games" ?
