French AF KC-135 at Prestick 14 Mar

Post by Wallace » Wed Mar 14, 2018 9:42 pm

A French AF KC-135RG made three missed approaches to Prestwick today. Flying conditions were "sporty" I did notice a based Robin having to fly quite hard to land in the strong head-wind.
It was well worth the cold 60 mile trip on the Beemer to get the photos.
