Not long out of Andrews AFB so lunchtime arrival at Leuchars.

Be interesting to see what comes out the back of them, probably choppers.

[Typeflyer]

RCH4615 (03-3127) & RCH4578 (04-4128) appear to be Rome bound with likely the same.

If I'm reading satcom messages correctly, RCH4582 has an arrival time of 1005L. Should be just about in the Shannon FIR now, so I'm not sure it's right!

[AIROPPS]

4580 just rumbled along the Tay just now.

[MichaelC99]

4580 on approach now from east, any info on what comes off would be helpful, hopefully its marine1&2 to come to prestwick

[balamorybuzzed]

10.15 Reach 4580 (ILS 26) land, to ASP2/3.

[Col Nago]

I'm starting to think that with the base's security, infrastructure and location to Edinburgh/Holyrood, it's going to be used way more that we expected for COP26. We shall see...

There is rumours that the helicopters might not visit Prestwick. How true that is who knows but it would be a shame for the spotters at Prestwick if it’s true.
