I saw them at the airfield, 2 of them with the call sign RAF AIR. Mac had me doing a cross country taxy around the airfield so they could do a "hot refuel". Got nice and close to them going past when I was doing pre take off checks tho. Nice big choppers those lads have got! Think may passenger has either pics or video. Will ask him.

Heard one of the Merlins was through Aberdeen on the way back early this morning. Just wondered if it passed by Carlisle? Also heard there are still more to transit back from Norway. Anyone heard anything from the Airport regading this?

My passenger got some good pics of the C130 yesterday which I will put in Aviation Pics section. I will put a link to You Tube vid in Videos section. The Belgian Air Force C130 had to come down to sort out a problem with flight plan paperwork. Sorry but we never filmed the landing. We were too busy "expediting" the landing and taxy off the runway as requested by ATC.
