EGEO, a few visitors.

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.image

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!

Sorry Misha, I never knew you lived in Scotland, I though you lived in London. I don’t know your real name so I dont know…sorry

After running hunders of advanced computer programs; spending billions on research and development and acquiring the greatest scientists of the century, we have finally discovered that @MishaCamp’s real name is: Misha Camp

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.
