IAF & KAF at Prestwick

Post by gogsm » Tue Jul 31, 2018 11:55 am

Hi all,
This is my first post for a while for various reasons so thought I'd start again with these shots from Prestwick.
I initially went down to catch the Israeli Air Force 707 Re'em and was lucky enough to catch the Kuwaiti Air Force C-17 arriving for a night stop.
