Thanks Calum and boy, did we get wet. Real pity about the weather especially for the rather special Gulfstream??? - (Oops, mistake, a Global Express / E11 ) that stopped over on Friday night....Michael.

Kuwaiti first as it was in a week ago. Got rather wet after this photo. http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk29/Eng3_photos/Aviation%20at%20Prestwick/Kuwaiti%20Air%20Force%20C17%20%20%20KAF%20342..jpg Thursday saw the return of Reach 563 on it's homeward journey (had to overshoot on Wednesday night ...

Hi, great photos of a lovely C17 , went down today and managed to catch it on their return journey home.

Hi, excellent, thanks for posting , never been to the States, remember seeing 6 of these at RAF Leuchars way back in 1987 along with their support KC10.

Hi, thanks, not the busiest but gets visitors every other day for crew-traing, fuel or overnight stops. I have a few more quite a few more (eg a second P8/RCAF 130Js and Polaris/RN Merlins and Avengers/Illinois ANG 130Hs as well as civilian aircraft, I'm 25 mins. to the airport but certainly not dow...

Hi, one or two visitors from the last few weeks. Thought it best to post the French A340 on it's own.

Hi, good selection , great to see a couple of days with sunshine...Michael.

Hi, some nice vistors recently. Party 01 & 02 arrived for crew rest last Thursday. Party 01 168927 arrives on Rwy 12. http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk29/Eng3_photos/Aviation%20at%20Prestwick/USN%20F18E%20Super%20Hornet%20168927%20%20%20Party%2001%20...jpg http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/...

Hi, excellent , managed to get over on Saturday to get them after catching the USN 130T depart Prestwick.

Hi, superb , thanks for sharing...Michael.

Hi, thanks, they do have experienced military handlers as well as for all other aircraft types. I think Prestwick suits the RAF as it's quiet, roomy and good for training exercises. The location on the NW coast of the UK is also suitable for crew rest, quite a few transatlantic flights call in here ...

Hi, on Thursday Ascot 407 arrived for some training. Also here was KC10A 'Reach 147', RCAF C130J and x8 Hawks arrived. Laer in the afternoon Voyager ZZ334 came in on a Trooping flight. First approach was followed by an NDB procedure before landing for around two hours. http://i276.photobucket.com/al...

Hi, top stuff there ,

Hi, excellent, looking forward to seeing the F35

Hi, a quiet place but still getting bursts of very interesting visitors. A great start to last Saturday, a C135FR in the sunshine. On finals for rwy 12. http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk29/Eng3_photos/Aviation%20at%20Prestwick/Armee%20DelAir%20C135FR%20%2093-CC%20%20472%20%20FAF4143%20rwy%2012%2...

Hi Alan, well caught , I headed to the mound for taxiing shots. Brilliant looking aircraft...Michael.

Hi, superb . Mind you, thought maybe 20 years solitary for taking those, times have thankfully changed...Michael

Hi, a last minute 'heads up' meant a quick dash for this one. Seems to be on a sales trip to the USA. Thankfully they went for some lunch, original plan was a quick turnaround, would have missed it. http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk29/Eng3_photos/Glasgow%20Airport/Italian%20Air%20Force%20Alenia%...

Hi, thanks, oh well, managed to see it with something different....Michael
