Hawaiian & Israeli on the West Coast.....Prestwick(PIK).

Post by Bluesteel » Wed Nov 06, 2019 3:45 pm

Left the house a wee bit earlier than planned just incase I missed my intended photo chance. I was not to be disappointed. Israeli 707 was the main prize but my early rise got me a beaut in the shape of a HH C-17.

Thanks for looking, hope you like.

Cheers Iain.
