Luftwaffe Transall at Glasgow

Post by FuriousGM » Fri Oct 02, 2015 7:31 am

After managing to miss them for years, I finally managed to catch a C-160 at Glasgow. 51+09 of Lufttransportgeschwader 61, based at Landsberg-Lech AB, Bavaria, stayed overnight on the 30th september after visiting (possibly staying at) Edinburgh and flying through Prestwick.

Thanks for looking,
