oops, Sorry, now added Prestwick to the heading

Hi, a few from the last few days.

USAF C40B 'Sam 950' in for a quick g&g. Managed to get 'air-side' for this one.

Image

Light really fading.
Image

Hoist 95.
Image

Image

Blue 42.
Image

Image

Argus 20 heading for Kef.
Image

Valour 51 in for some crew training.
Image

Image

Convoy 4901 returning with computer problem, ( still here in the hanger).
After 3pm Sunday, light really fading.
Image

Convoy in @ 1425 Monday from Sigonella to pick up the passengers for the C40A.
The sun was 'bouncing off' the C9 as it crossed the R13 threshold.
Mind you, rather get it with the buckets & spray 8-) .

...and from last week.

USAF C32B 'Turf 70'
Hi, they arrived from the west on Friday at 2210, basked in the Autumn sunshine during Saturday and then departed south at 2200. Arrived back in the pouring rain on Sunday 1410. They were due out at 1300 Monday - beautiful day - but Hurricane Sandy resulted in delaying until Tuesday. Didn't go down for it.

Tucked away in the corner of apron H and can't read the serial.
Image

02-4452 of the 227th SOF Forward Emergency Support Team (FEST) arriving from the south in the absolutely pouring rain. Shock to their system maybe after a day in Dubai 8-) .
Image

Image

Image

XR808 'Ascot 2204' came all the way up from Brize for one rather high overshoot and then headed to Copenhagen (Saturday Midday :o ). Original plan was here for 30 minutes.

Overshooting R13.
Image

Image

C21A Valour 54 here for some crew training.
Image

Then went tech. and stayed for two days - brought another two C21As up with spares etc.
Image

...and the C130s continue.

Two Kentuckians in from Incirlik.
Reach 385.
