Prestwick 19/20 Sept

[toom317]

Headed over to Prestwick on Sunday to get the Nigerian A29's. They didn't show, so a long boring day waiting for the Atlas to fly through. Also got a C17 on the ground. 3 Falcons arrived for the JMC. Back over on Monday for the Nigerians again, and again a no show from them. At least there was some decent military action with the JMC on, a C5 on the ground and 3 C17's arriving, one on a gas and go. A fair bit of action from the Falcons, and with the Hawk due out of service soon, 5 Hawks flew also.

First 2 pics from Sunday, the rest From Monday. The Travis C17 was on the ground on Sunday but blocked from view. It went out early on the Monday and I caught it later when it came back. Weather started to deteriorate mid afternoon onwards, C17 8194 arriving in the murk, but it had cleared a bit when it departed later in the afternoon.

Your day was not a total write-off then as you obtained some cracking shots.
I very much look forward to seeing all the impending Nigerian A-29 captures by all you talented photographers at Prestwick.
Thanks for sharing your pics

Nice to see you again Mike. I'm hoping tomorrow or Saturday for them eventually coming, but I just know they'll come on a work day.

Nice set Danny and good to catch up...its been awhile! At least it wasn`t a complete waste,those Navy Hawks won`t be up here that many more times before they are gone i`d imagine!

A nice set and a good selection of types.If you call that a " long boring day" i could suggest a lot of worse alternative airfields to visit.

Target, the long boring day was the Sunday, when there was very little happening. Monday on the other hand was a pretty good day, despite the Nigerians not turning up.
