Prestwick 26th July

Post by scimitar » Fri Jul 26, 2019 5:45 pm

Managed an hour this morning and struck it lucky, departing were a Belgian C130, a CC177, a KC135 and a Charleston C17 which left a C5M and a Kuwaiti C17 on the ground.

Nice mix there Andrew. Caught glimpse of the Kuwait C-17 earlier whilst passing on A77 but couldn't stop at PWK unfortunately.

I very much enjoy these Prestwick reports as I went to Auchincruive Agricultural College 25 years ago and remember Concorde and Galaxies and Starlifters coming and going and doing circuits as I gazed out of the the classroom windows.Thank you and keep them coming!
