Looks like KC135 59-1459 from Tampa made an approach to land on 30 but aborted.
Been circling over Turnberry/Girvan for the last 20 mins.

Another KC135 off the Atlantic, 62-3509, has just passed Skye heading south east, so possibly another inbound.

If anyone has any info on how long the KC135s are staying, that would be appreciated.

Thanks

Any idea if the Prestwick abort and subsequent hold was for a tech issue or last minute change in destination.
