Return of the Heavies

Post by Edicap »

A quick visit to prestwick on Thursday and Friday saw me catching these two heavies. The 747 is a scheduled freight service from the US whilst the Antonov seems to be coming in on a more frequent basis, this time rumoured to have started its journey at Nellis and ending it at Tbilisi :ninja:
