Kuwait Golbie at Prestwick 16 Nov 15

Post by Wallace » Tue Nov 17, 2015 4:19 pm

Took a run down to Prestwick yesterday and managed by default to catch the Kuwait AF Globemaster on the ground. It had tried to leave a half hour earlier but reported a problem with one of its engines and returned to its parking spot.

Engines running OK
