Hi all. During the 5th & 7th June 2017, Prestwick got a very special visitor. 2 US Navy F18s and an Omega DC10 Tanker. They arrived on the 5th and departed on the 7th. This was their first visit of the year, they returned the following week after attending a few Airshows over in Finland. Their routing was Bangor-Prestwick-Helsinki. I will upload their second visit video in the future. I hope you all enjoy.

Absolutely brilliant footage! Definitely one of your best catches :) Huge like, I love the sound of the DC-10 departing.

Thanks Mate. It sure is. I love my trijets as well, I never take them for granted.

[@jimfowler5930]

Since I flew US Navy, allow me: the first Hornet was from VFA-103, the Jolly Rogers squadron, and the second was from VFA-143, the Pukin Dogs (no, I did not forget a "g"). GREAT and very clear video, thanks for posting it!!!

[@DanielSander]

Never knew that about the squardons. Thanks for Watching and for the Information.

Fantastic shots my friend! I reall enjoyed the DC-10 and the first F-18 looked really cool :)

[@DanielSander]

Thank you my friend. Yeah the special tail on that one was a nice surprise. It looked really smart.

[@slappymcgillicuddy7532]

Fun fact, Omega just acquired 2 KDC-10's from the Royal Netherlands Air Force after they converted to KC-30 MRTT. They have glass cockpits much like the MD-10 and will have boom and drogue capability

[@DanielSander]

Thanks for watching. I think one off the KDC10s is being used as a spares ship.

[@BritishTransportSpotter]

Absolute Stunning video!! Great sound aswell. Awesome catches

[@DanielSander]

Cheers Buddy, you can't beat that noise haha.

[@HDMelbourneAviation]

5 star catch mate! I bet there wont be many opportunities to get a closeup like that of the rare dc-10. I was glad to catch a glimpse of it aswell

[@DanielSander]

Thanks Mate. Yeah certainly. Very rare to see these days.

[@canadianplanespotter]

[@ManchesterAviation]

Amazing video!

[@DanielSander]

Thanks Mate.

[@DjsAviation]

Epic man!

[@DanielSander]

Thanks Man.

[@jimfowler5930]

BTW, the long, full wheel roll was VERY unusual for FLY NAVY.... they are used to trapping a 3-wire (the ideal/target cable) and full thrust to make sure there is no bolter (missing all four "wires") and thus having enough power fly off and go around for another "call the ball" action.

[@yxeaviationphotog]

Navy crews routinely operate from land bases when not deployed to the carrier. So not unusual at all.

[@MrEddieG420]

super Hornets. Square inlets and bigger Wings.

[@DanielSander]

Never realised there was that big a difference. Thanks for Watching :)

[@ronronpagala910]

Rare bird sighting!

[@DanielSander]

Thanks for Watching :)

[@pokemastergw2944]

Nice video ✈️

[@DanielSander]

Thanks Gary :)

[@illyrienautokton3895]

Lov usa love amerik

[@bobby9353]

Are those armed? Looks like sidewinders and another missle on wing tips.

[@DanielSander]

Thanks for Watching. I have no idea, sorry.

[@soupfork2105]

The underwing ones look like AMRAAM to me

[@yxeaviationphotog]

AIM-9X on the wingtip and AIM-120 AMRAAM under the wing. Inert weapons though, just for training.

[@slappymcgillicuddy7532]

blue bands on the missiles = inert munitions. Brown and yellow bands = lives

[@skyecommander2169]

Seeing super hornets aero brake doesn’t look right😂

[@DanielSander]

Yeah its weird. Thanks for Watching :)
