Already left Reykjavik is DC3 N33644 heading for Prestwick. Estimated arrival is 12.20, scheduled arrival is 3.41 PM.

All 3 that were in Iceland have left for Prestwick

Looking like they could be heading for Wick as the weather at PIK is poor tomorrow. Just need to watch flight radar and see what happens.

3 Typhoons Venom21,22,23 Landed 1630 after quick sortie NW,didn't hear 3rd arrive this morning bizarrely

Any ideas how long these are here for?

Three days is what I've heard. Should be in and out a few more times before leaving for Lossie.

I've seen 21st of May and then later on the way home on the 26th of June both for fuel stops. Thats what they posted on their facebooo page anyway.

RCH1800 C5-M requested start at 2120

IAF680 707 descending for PIK at the moment

RCH870 C5M 85-0003 inbound from Dover with an emergency landed 1640 According to the "Ayr Advertiser" they called out the Troon lifeboat for this emergency.

Any idea what the emergency was? Fire crew went over to have a look once it was parked up.

CFC3322 (A-310) and CFC0856 showing on ADSB just NW of Ireland/NI. Anyone know if these are akin to the tanker and Hornets that arrived on Monday? Are they heading for Prestwick?

Tanker is for PIK but fairly sure hornets are going direct to Waddington

Are there any A10's still in prestwick ?

8 still here. Plane was the last 6 due out tuesday but that might change because of the two which retured yesterday

Trend 66 had cabin pressure issues and Trend 65 had problems refueling

Just heard 2 warthogs returning

Heard that ground opps seem to think the remaining 6 are departing tuesday

Caught the ground handlers discussing the third batch are staying until the 27th, and the final 2 are arriving Monday - any confirmation?

There was a bit of confusion with arrivals but all are on the ground now. As for, departures I heard Sunday (no times as of yet) but could be totally wrong.

Last 2 eta 1700L
