Brazilian KC-390 at Teesside

Probably Teesside Airport’s best visitor of 2021, Brazilian Air Force KC-390 FAB2855 landing after its short flight from Manchester on 9th December.

That's what I call F.A.B! Great picture and wish I had now made the effort to go to Manchester to see it. Maybe it'll call in again on its way home (or even visit next year for RIAT/Farnborough).

Cheers David. Recovering deleted photos, only a 15x zoom on a camera phone could muck up a C17 like that (so I thought).
