In late 1980, five stretched C-130H-30's were delivered to the TNI-AU (A-1317 through A-1321). Then in May of 1982, the airframe pictured here became the TNI-AU's sixth C-130H-30. It too got serial A-1321(2.), while the original "A-1321" (c/n 4870) became A-1341 to serve with VIP squadron 17 at Halim. All six C-130H-30 remain in service at the time of upload, while two of the six "civilian" L-100-30's transferred from Merpati and Pelita to the TNI-AU in the late 1990's were lost in accidents. A-1321 is seen here in the two tone brown camo worn by most indonesian C-130's in the early 2000's.

Nice unexpected arrival this afternoon.

An Atlas classic 747 taxiing from remote parking on the North side to enter the Runway and backtrack for departure.

Occasionally Loganair aircraft came to Prestwick for crew training making the short flight over from Glasgow Airport. This Twin Otter was here for about 1 hour of circuits.

Here for over an hours Training at Prestwick and completing another touch and go.

Landing on Runway 31 in low winter sunshine.

Has to be one of the most spectacular airports in the world. I'd tried hard to secure a ride on the unique Turbo Porter but was told allocations between Cessna and Porter were not made until the day of flight, according to pax numbers. I was not disappointed...

Built as an N24 Nomad, converted to N24A in December 1983.

The pure silence and grandeur were awesome. My wife couldn't believe how many pix I kept taking of the aircraft, but it's an old friend as I first shot it at Farnborough in 1980 (still retains the demo colours)
