Some shots of the US Army UH-60M's arriving at Inverness Airport this afternoon, before relocating to Cameron Barracks in Inverness.

In order of arrival

DUKE17 15-20743 (this was the one not plotting on ADSB)

DUKE64 15-20754 (arrived in the overhead first but headed out past Nairn before turning back)

Image

with DUKE32 behind

Image

DUKE32 15-20745

Image

Image

Image

DUKE59 10-20272

Image

L to R DUKE59/32/64/17

I had a feeling that they weren't going to stay long at Inverness Airport and sure enough all four had relocated into Cameron Barracks by 1615, with some spectacular flying over the City, hopefully a taster for the next couple of weeks

Since they obviously didn't like Inverness and left within 20 hrs of arriving, I thought I would post up some more shots as we're not likely to see these again anytime soon.

They actually loved Inverness and were very sad to leave!
