Prestwick & Glasgow - January 2025

Post by TomG » Sat Feb 01, 2025 12:57 pm

Not a bad start to the year despite the weather not being at all cooperative. A small January selection from Prestwick and Glasgow.

Prestwick 18th January - U-28A arriving in some filthy weather from Stuttgart as 'SWASH52'.

Top cover for the Atlantic crossing was this HC-130J arriving from Ramstein as 'KING11'.

Eleven days after arriving at Prestwick the U-28 & HC-130J made it away to Keflavik using the same callsigns. Weather was a whole lot different to that encountered on the 18th!
