2 X US Army PC-12 due EDI 18.30

Post by Punkrunner62 » Sat Jun 26, 2021 9:25 am

Just wondering if anyone has heard about this, they are supposed to be coming from Ramstein but no reports that i have seen of them arriving there yet and i never knew the Army operated them, unless they are in a "civil" guise?.
Cheers.

The Army doesn't. The US Air Force however has operated PC-12s since around 2007 (maybe 2005?) and they are a fairly regular visitor at Prestwick.

From an unknown source, 05-0446, 05-0597 and 04-0688 are reported as due in Edinburgh at 1830. Not sure if that's Zulu or local times.
