Stratotanker over Glasgow?

[vet111s]

Would I be silly to suggest possibly seeing a kc-135 at approach type altitudes over lenzie today? 4 engines and too wide bodied to be a340 and had no discernible livery. Also seemed to have some kind of pylon from tail end.

Just for you been for a drive round the airport, nowt here.

Something noisier than normal came in about lunch time but never looked to see what it was.

Check http://www.egpf.vze.com/ , not sure when its updated.

Calling Pete.

Thanks for looking just for little me!
Lunchtime would have been about right-probably about 12.30ish. Will look at that website tomorrow, seems to update a day in arrears.

Prestwick air show this weekend so might be some tasty stuff in the area?

I'll look tonight when I'm in.

The Scottish Air Show, or the Ayr Show as i am campaigning to have it renamed, looking quite good but they'll take their stuff into PK not Glasgow...

So using this link there's an entry on the SBS-1 log of what seems to be a French Airforce KC-35 stratotanker @ 12.07pm in the Glasgow area. no mention in the landing log so despite the apparent flight path doesn't seem to have landed at GLA unless military aircraft don't get logged the same.

No it did not land at Glasgow just a fly past

[vet111s]

That's the puppy!

Looks big, but as they're tidly wee CFMs can't be all that large an aircraft?

Apparently based on Boeing 707 which means it's a little bigger than a 737-900 from my little research. Sounded a lot bigger overhead (if that makes sense!)
