A Few Hours at Prestwick Airfield

Hearing that the Refuelling Tanker and the two Hornets would depart today I headed down to Prestwick.

After a short delay the aircraft fired up and taxied down for take-off.

Nice to see the Hornets pick up speed and take off in a lively fashion and hope my images do justice.

Prestwick Airport Trip

On hearing that we may see a couple of Skyhawks at Prestwick it was always going to be a drive down to get a few photos.

They arrived much later than I had expected, but it gave me time to walk Maya and catch up with a few friends.

I also managed a few photos of some of the other aircraft about on the day.
