This is the only spot at PIK that I hadn't caught the beast from ("the farm") and I knew I'd get some great footage of those wheels. The spray was a brucie bonus!

If I remember correctly is that not the same type of aircraft that brought the American troops to Scotland when they where based at the holy loch I remember prestwick in the 1970/S as a child greeting’s from South Lanarkshire

Lovely filming Jim
Those pilots are pretty cool, they sound slick on the radio. Great video!
I agree!
Surprisingly short distance to point of rotation. Magnificent plane.
It is an extremely capable aircraft!
I remember seeing that Galaxy C5 aircraft and Starlifters at Greenham Common
Great Clip" Nice one, just wish there was more clips taken at Prestwick"! Certainly the place to be,!💯👌📸
PIK has spotters from all over the UK coming for the special movements it gets!

Great catch, thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍
Thank you too!
Spectacular video Jim. Great job!
Many thanks!
Wet weather gear on Jim ! Bringing home the bacon. Thanks for a good video of the beast.
No rain actually, I was very lucky!
Where did it go and what was it carrying that's what we need to know?
It went to Pease in the USA - we have no idea whats inside these or the C-17s

Probably was, these have been on the go for many many years!
Could have been a C-141 Starlifter. Another USAF high wing four engine cargo plane.

Thanks Theo!
@gersVids Sir.
Ah, but why aren’t they flying Bradley’s to Ukraine?
You never know what they contain - they only come to PIK for fuel & crew rest
