70thAnniversary 67th SOS(ARRS)flypast

[dfsspotter]

Did anyone see the flight of 4 USAF Super Hercules (Commandos) flying over Scotland on 1st June 2022 ? They were overflying their old bases including close to Prestwick after low level flying at the Mach Loop,the Lake District and a flypast at Dumfries and Galloway Aviation Museum. Reported over Loch Doon and Loch Ness before flying down east coast to overfly Sculthorpe before returning to base at Mildenhall

I think this was just a low level training exercise as their 70th anniversary isn't until later in the year :- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/67th_Spec ... s_Squadron

I'm really no sure what this has to do with Edinburgh though!

Maybe because they actually did fly quite close to Edinburgh on their way sooth?

I was lucky enough to catch them over Dundee and having had to actually do the first part of my job title for once, the sight fair cheered me up!

Aye, if you can class Dunbar as being close to Edinburgh!
