Just landed Edinburgh.

Saw it from a distance from Mum’s home, always very spectacular sight the C-17.

[POL]

Departing to Ramstein at 1315L.

[Dave Allbutt]

Departed at 1237.

[Lewis MacRae]

Does anyone know what this offloaded?

[Unknown74]

One of The Beasts no doubt? Unless it was Biden's favourite breakfast cereal?

[Col Nago]

Not sure why he'd need the cars on the East Coast when you can easily land a helicopter (or helicopters) right next to Holyrood Palace. I'd assumed the cars would be needed for the Glasgow airport to the conference leg.

[Leucharsbox]

Although I didn’t wait until it departed, all that I saw offloaded were x2 sets of aircraft steps mounted on small truck/van chassis. They aren’t any taller than a standard set that would be used for a narrow body airliner unless they can be extended.

Didn't see the steps offloaded as it was round at Signature but the C-17 was up faster than the Star Air B767!
