I was on the 0952 Aberdeen to Kings Cross Azuma today and got a birds eye view of a C130 landing at 1120ish. There were a few photographers visible by the fence.

Chinooks have been up every day since arrival. They don’t often show on ADSB

No road or parking restrictions - parking is best in the lay-by next to the field.

A very pleasant evening spent at Leuchars last night and good company again . It is great going down knowing you will see some flying. The backdrop looking West was an absolutely stunning evening sky....the second Herc taking off into it and breaking North...no camera :'(
