Danish MH-60R and a Skinny Dragon @ Prestwick

[dinger]

Two highlights during a brief visit to Prestwick for the Joint Warrior 19-1 visitors. My main aim was to bag the VP-4 P-8A which I did in the early evening light but the undoubted highlight was Danish Air Force 976 which came in for a splash of fuel.

Well worth the drive up.

Nice catch!

Is there any particular reason for the amount of military movements at Prestwick compared to other airports?

I do like that Danish MH60R, something I'd love to see rock up at Fairford this year, but they will probably be on task somewhere

It's the first/last stop, before crossing the Atlantic.

... and also gets the least amount of fog of any airport in Europe.

These were here specifically for the exercise. There's a lot of building works going on at Lossie.
