I recently completed a firefighting placement at OBN (EGEO) on the west coast of Scotland. Here are a few visitors that have popped up over the last few weeks.
The Apache was the most magnificent aircraft I’d seen to date. What a beast.
We get low approaches from C130’s and yesterday, a low approach and go around from a Airbus A400M Atlas.
(Finally I’m a member now. I can post! 😂)
Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Wow, such beautiful aircraft and scenery. Amazing shot of the A400M! That red helicopter must’ve been cleaned just before that shot, nice and shiny.
