Its been said before but I'll say it again - every now and then this airport throws up a gem of a surprise, usually military - and today was one of those days.
USN KC-130J 165810 "Bronco 69" arrived mid afternoon for a series of "tactical" approaches and touch & goes - I lost count but it must have been about 10 - plus some low-level manouvering and a final near vertical climb from an extended low level departure, heading off to Prestwick.
Its been pretty busy elsewhere as well -
Centereline took delivery of another "new" aircraft early this morning when EMB550 Legacy 500 G-TULI arrived from the US and continued on to (presumably) Bristol. The smaller Embraer 500 G-SVRN also visited - departing to Biggin Hill as "Redhawk 71C" and also at PJC was Beech 200 G-IASB.
Over at Area W, Alex was kept busy with Cessna 182Q G-BHVP, Maule Mxt7 G-BVIK, Cessna T206H G-SEMR (all of which moved on to Northern Ireland) and Ravenair P68 G-RVNP as "Raven 07"

I was over in Belfast International Airport the other Saturday and saw at least two of the Hercules there, I wonder if this one came from there?

Apparently it did come from Belfast, and departed to Prestwick
