[4K] USAF Heavy Operations at Prestwick Airport May 2019 | 3 KC10As 2 C17s & 2 C5Ms

During the start of May 2019, Prestwick Airport had the most USAF heavies in at once in 15 years. This led to the closure of this secondary runway just for parking which is incredible. Photos are on my Aviation Instagram account. Over the course of the first weekend, 7 C17As, 2 C5Ms were in at once. I was working most of the weekend so I could only film some of the action. I managed to film 2 C17s and both C5Ms arrive. There was also 3 KC10A in during the weekend. The video is 17 minutes of pure USAF heavy action, and one of my favourites to film to date.

What an amazingly short landing roll the C-5 uses.

Thanks Mate.

Great shots. And you got to shoot at a decent time of day. The C-5M on the 23rd/24th that I shot came in shortly after 7am so the sun was still too low!

Why are USAF landing at civilian AP? Is this in Scotland?

[@spookygh0st234]

Great video! Is it possible to find out when these flights are scheduled or is spotting just a bit hit and miss at PIK?

[@ministryofanti-feminism1493]

I've often wondered this myself. How do they know?!

[@DanielSander]

Thanks for Watching :)

[@evoGage]

How come USAF frequently visit Prestwick?

[@CosmicXanadu]

They like our pubs :)
Also probably location, one of the longest runways big enough for a C5M or AN225, and facilities:

[@ministryofanti-feminism1493]

Because Britain is a US vassal, and they use our Prestwick Airport as a jump-point to other parts of the world further East. The British Empire became the American Empire. Still enjoy looking at their aircraft though!

[@evoGage]

I see. Thanks for explaining.

They sure blew my income tax payment right fast.
