Busy day yesterday.Maybe busier at Leuchars in coming months as Lossie has no ILS available until early April due to the ongoing construction.

The 6 Lossiemouth Typhoons did not depart yesterday.

The other 2 Typhoons not leaving until 14.00 at the earliest.
15.00 Valkyrie 22 depart. WOW!!!! If Carlsberg did performance departures.... Possibly the greatest Typhoon departure I've ever witnessed at Leuchars, thank you Valkyrie 22!
15.25 Valkyrie 21, performance departure.

He was low along runway on full power, before pulling up into the heavens, levelling at 10000 ft in an instant, fantastic departure, in a lovely clear sky!
