Including overshoots or low approach and go arounds have Edinburgh Airport been recieving many Military Aircraft visits recently?
Last couple of months I've seen Hawk and C17 Globemaster activity over the skies of Edinburgh, including approaches to Edinburgh Airport. When I say Hawk, I think there's been more than 1 because on seperate days I did visually observe one doing an approach into Edinburgh, running East to West early afternoon and not too long after that, on another day, saw another one shoot out to the South passing overhead Balerno, but this time mid morning. Don't know where it came from or was going to as the scanner was not to hand.
I would expect the Reds will be using Edinburgh for their Leith Display on June 24.
